Best bet:
The game of the Premier League weekend. Leeds v Manchester City. Marcelo Bielsa v Pep Guardiola.
Leeds' arrival back to the top-flight of English football was exciting for the neutral given the attacking brand of football played in the Sky Bet Championship and they have not disappointed. Six points from their first three games, despite a narrow defeat at Liverpool, will be seen as an excellent return.
Manchester City pose another test though and their 5-2 defeat to Leicester last time out can be viewed as both a positive and negative for Leeds. City have played the wounded animal far too often of late but they tend to do it well, and they won't necessarily object to a side with Leeds' attacking intentions.
City have defensive problems of their own though and Leeds, who have scored eight goals so far, represent good value at 9/4 to net two or more goals.
The fact that over 3.5 goals is odds-on shows just what the money makes of both of the defences on display here; perhaps that is a good indicator of just how strong the attacks are too. Alex Keble's excellent tactical preview outlines that these two shouldn't cancel each other out, but rather open up plenty of opportunities to score.
Leeds hit three against Liverpool and their signings in the transfer window demonstrate why they should be a team who are fairly comfortable this season. While the temptation was therefore to go for goals here, as outlined in our midweek Punting Pointers, Leeds' high number of tackles makes for great value in the stats market.
