Man City vs. Leeds: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 111

Man City wins: 50

Draws: 18

Leeds wins: 43

Manchester City and Leeds United have faced each other a total of 111 times across all competitions, with the Citizens marginally leading the overall head-to-head record having posted 50 wins to the Whites' 43, while 18 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

The first seven encounters were won by Man City, including their very first in the old Division One back in December 1924 (3-0), before Leeds celebrated their first triumph over the Citizens in October 1928, winning 4-1 on home soil.

Indeed, Man City and Leeds had their fair share of battles in Divisions One and Two over the years. The Citizens won 20 of the first 35 league meetings up until 1963 (D5 L10) before the Whites responded by coming out on top in 15 of the next 25 matches (D2 L8) up to the late 1970s.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93) Man City and Leeds have butted heads 20 times to date and there has been little to separate the two teams, with the former picking up eight victories to the latter's seven, with five draws having also been played out.

Man City won the first Premier League meeting against Leeds by a 4-0 scoreline at Maine Road in November 1992, before the Whites enjoyed a six-game unbeaten run (D3 L3), keeping four clean sheets in the process.

Leeds celebrated their biggest league win over Man City in January 2001 when a brace from substitute Robbie Keane inspired the Whites to a 4-0 away victory. However, the biggest winning margin in this fixture belongs to the Citizens, who put Leeds to the sword 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium in December 2021, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring twice.

Including that thumping win, Man City have prevailed in each of their last five meetings with Leeds, most recently winning a thrilling contest by a 3-2 scoreline at the Etihad in November 2025, courtesy of two goals from Phil Foden including a stoppage-time winner.
