Leeds United vs Man City LIVE: Kick-Off Time, TV Channel, Stream Link & Must-Know Stats for Today’s Premier League Showdown

A high-stakes Premier League showdown lights up Elland Road on Saturday as Leeds United welcome Manchester City for a 17:30 GMT kick-off.

Team news and predicted XIs Leeds boss Daniel Farke confirmed striker Noah Okafor (hamstring) is out, while left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson returns after illness. Otherwise the Whites are at full strength. Manchester City will be without 22-goal top scorer Erling Haaland, who has not travelled as a fitness precaution, meaning Julián Álvarez is expected to lead the line. Leeds United (4-2-3-1 probable): Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Struijk; Roca, Stach; Summerville, James, Gnonto; Calvert-Lewin. Manchester City (4-3-3 probable): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden; Bernardo Silva, Álvarez, Doku.
