Manchester City looks to continue its EPL dominance when it goes head-to-head with Leeds United on Saturday, May 6. Momentum is on the home club's side after Manchester City picked up a 3-0 victory over West Ham on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Leeds aims for better results following a 4-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Man City vs Leeds Prediction & Pick

There's just no reason to believe in an upset occurring here. Manchester City is at the top of the EPL table, whereas Leeds sits at No. 17, 49 points back of its upcoming opponent. It doesn't help that the Whites are winless in their last five matches, getting outscored 18-5 along the way.

For reference, Manchester City hasn't lost an EPL outing since Feb. 5, going 11-1-0 since that defeat. Man City has also won five of its previous six meetings against Leeds, outscoring the latter 14-1 in the last three alone.

It was only back in December that the Sky Blues defeated the Whites 3-1 and that was when Leeds had the home-field advantage. With this match being played at Etihad Stadium, I expect a similar result.

Final Score Prediction: Manchester City: 4 | Bayern Munich: 1

Man City vs Leeds Best Bet

I'm taking the Over on the 3.5-goal total as the best bet for this matchup. Man City's talented attack is a big reason why it's combined for an average of five total goals in its last three meetings with Leeds. The two EPL foes went over 3.5 goals in each contest, highlighted by the Sky Blues winning 7-0 in their last clash at Etihad Stadium.

With Leeds giving up four-plus goals in three of its last five outings, I see Man City doing most of the heavy lifting en route to the projected total being surpassed.

Bet: Over 3.5 Total Goals (-120)
