December’s reverse fixture saw us run out 7-0 winners at the Etihad but, under the guidance of new manager Jesse Marsch, Leeds come into the tie on the back of a five-match unbeaten run.
Everything points towards a must-watch encounter, leaving FPL managers with plenty of difficult selection decisions ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 (UK) deadline.
However, rest assured that the Scout is on hand as usual to provide some all-important insight.
Check out the latest FPL Scout Report below...
City Star
Raheem Sterling’s (£10.5m) recent away form makes him a standout differential in Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League.
The winger is owned by just 2.5% of squads for Manchester City’s visit to Leeds United on Saturday evening.
He has produced 32 points in his last three outings on the road, scoring a hat-trick at Norwich City and supplying two assists against Burnley.
Indeed, when selected this season, Sterling has been involved in 42% of City’s away goals, more than any team-mate.
The underlying numbers further highlight the England star’s potential.
Away from home in 2021/22, Sterling’s 12 shots on target and six big chances both rank among the top two players for Man City.
Opponent to watch
Jack Harrison (£5.5m) is the hosts’ form attacker; the former City winger has scored in three of his last four outings.
Man in form: Harrison has averaged 5.3 points per match since Jesse Marsch was appointed head coach in GW28.
Other Premier League pick
Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Harry Kane (£12.5m) are among the best captaincy options for Gameweek 35.
Away from home, Salah has produced 8.6 points per match (ppm) ahead of Liverpool’s visit to Newcastle United.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Kane has averaged 9.2 ppm in his meetings with his visitors Leicester City over his Fantasy career.
