Since entering the season, Manchester City have played steadily, recently overtaking Chelsea to lead the table, relying on Sterling's penalty kicks in the last round to beat Wolves 1-0 to avoid being lost to the top position by Liverpool behind them.
This round, Manchester City continues to sit at home against Leeds United, who has only 16 points in 16 rounds, ranking 15th in the table, and has been reduced to a relegation team.
