Manchester City’s Premier League title push continues with the visit of Sam Allardyce’s Leeds United to the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola’s side leapfrogged Arsenal to go top of the table with a 3-0 midweek win over West Ham and they sit one point clear of the Gunners with a game in hand.

Leeds brought in Big Sam this week to oversee their relegation scrap, and he will be looking to make an instant impact in a daunting debut, with his side only above the drop zone on goal difference as things stand.

City won the first meeting of the season between the sides 3-1 at Elland Road in December.

Kick-off is at 3.00pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
