View Manchester City v Leeds United head to head

Kick-off: 3.00pm . Premier League Head to Head Played: 20 Manchester City won: 8 Drawn: 5 Leeds United won: 7 Manchester City scored: 32 Leeds United scored: 24 . Played on the same day as the coronation of King Charles III and with no Football League fixtures scheduled, this game was televised live in the UK despite the Saturday 3pm kick-off time. The 3pm blackout came in to effect in the 1960s when Burnley chairman Bob Lord convinced his fellow Football League chairmen that televised 3pm kick-offs would have a negative effect on the attendances at other games on the same afternoon. The rule was briefly suspended in June 2020 as part of Project Restart during the COVID-19 pandemic.
