Leeds, under Okafor, have embraced an attacking style but have suffered from inconsistency. They sit in 15th place and are conceding too many goals (46, the fourth-highest rate in the league). However, the Peacocks are putting up a fight at home to the favorites, as evidenced by a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa and a 3-1 rout of Nottingham.
Manchester City are on a superb run of victories in all competitions, winning six in a row with a combined score of 14-3. Guardiola's side are confident away from home and remain in the title race. Given the hosts' personnel issues and the City squad's depth, the visitors have a huge advantage in class.
City secured a comeback 3-2 win in the first leg, and the difference in class should be more pronounced now. Leeds will be opening up their defense, trying to attack, something Haaland and company will certainly take advantage of. The visitors are too strong for a mid-table team fighting for survival.
