ELLAND ROAD, LEEDS — Manchester City face a tough test at Leeds United as they seek to trim Arsenal's advantage at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners are five points clear at the summit but have played a game more and City will want to apply some pressure before Mikel Arteta's men entertain Chelsea in a London derby on Sunday.
Visiting boss Pep Guardiola was dealt a blow before kickoff when Erling Haaland was absent from his matchday squad for the first time in the Premier League or Champions League this season.
City needed an injury-time winner from Phil Foden to beat Leeds 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium in late November and Daniel Farke's men have only lost twice in 14 Premier League matches since to hugely boost their battle against relegation.
