Gary Neville has said on his podcast that Leeds United are a good watch following the win against Manchester City at the weekend.

Leeds got the better of City 2-1 away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side played the entire second half with 10 men following the dismissal of Liam Cooper in first-half injury time.

Former Manchester United defender Neville, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that City would have suited them the way Leeds play, and has said that the Whites are always a good watch.

Neville said on his podcast: “I think there are certain opponents that Leeds are perfect to play against. I think actually City would suit them. I think Leeds are a good watch. You don’t watch a Leeds game where you don’t think actually it’s a good watch.”

Entertaining

Leeds do concede a lot of goals, but Bielsa’s side also score and never give up.

Against City at the weekend, the Whites had to defend deep and had to soak the pressure from City, especially in the second half, but they hit them on the counter attack late in the game.

Leeds have been superb to watch this season and have been one of the most entertaining sides in the Premier League.

There is a very good chance that the Whites will finish the season in the top half of the table.
