Leeds v Man City team news: De Bruyne benched, Jesus starts again

535 Comments
Share

After the omission of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold from the Liverpool teamsheet in the lunchtime kick-off, there is another high-profile benching at Elland Road this evening.

Leeds United take on Manchester City in the 5.30pm kick-off and Pep Guardiola has left Kevin De Bruyne out of his starting XI, along with Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez.

That trio are among five changes from the midweek win over Real Madrid.

Oleksandr Zinchenko drops to the bench along with De Bruyne, Bernardo and Mahrez, while John Stones misses out through injury.

In come Joao Cancelo (who was suspended in the Champions League), Nathan Ake, Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish.

Jesse Marsch has made three changes to his starting XI tonight and it’s a defensive-looking set-up, as Junior Firpo, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk all come in for the hosts.

Dropping out are Diego Llorente, Mateusz Klich and Daniel James, so it’s possible that we might be seeing a five-man defence from the Whites.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Struijk, Cooper, Firpo, Koch, Raphinha, Dallas, Phillips, Harrison, Rodrigo.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Joao Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, Grealish, Foden, Sterling, Gabriel Jesus.

Subs: Zinchenko, Steffen, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Egan-Riley, Mbete-Tabu, McAtee.

    I think the bonus points system should be tweaked so the number of bonus points a player gets depends on the absolute value of their bps for a match. For example, if you get between 20 and 29 bps you get 1 bonus point, between 30 and 39 bps you get 2 bonus points, between 40 and 49 bps you get 3 bonus points and 50+bps is 5 bonus points.

      That's too OP. I'd maintain the system, just tweak 2 things:
      1) Extend the points cut-off to something like 24hrs after a match to ensure all data are final.
      2) Provide BPS details for each player, or at least each team's top 5 players in a match.

    What's the best scenario with KDB (c), Cancelo and Laporte?
    Son (vc).

    I dunno if KDB (c) comes on if say, City are 0-1 up after 60 mins.
    But if Leeds score early, KDB (c) might come on earlier and do something drastic.
