Manchester City will be looking to claim their first league double over Leeds United in 40 years when they travel to Elland Road for Saturday's Premier League contest.

Manchester City will be looking to claim their first league double over Leeds United in 40 years when they travel to Elland Road for their Premier League contest on Saturday evening.

The Citizens secured their biggest victory of the season when they last faced the Whites, thrashing Marcelo Bielsa's men 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium in December.

Leeds have since improved under the tutelage of Jesse Marsch in recent weeks, but should City claim maximum points at Elland Road, they would complete their first league double over the Whites since 1981-82, a campaign which saw the West Yorkshire outfit relegated from the top flight.

City will be confident of success on Saturday as they currently boast the best away record in the Premier League this term, and have put together a 15-game unbeaten run on the road since losing 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season.

Pep Guardiola's side head to Elland Road after securing a thrilling 4-3 victory at home against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, while Leeds have picked up 11 points during a five-game unbeaten run and drew their most recent match 0-0 away at Crystal Palace on Monday.

City will end the weekend at the top of the Premier League table if they beat Leeds, while Marsch's men would move eight points clear of the relegation zone if they were to cause an upset on home soil.
