Leeds vs Man City: Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Gudmundsson explain transformation under Daniel Farke since Etihad defeat
Leeds United's flying wing-backs Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jayden Bogle sit down with Sky Sports to explain how Daniel Farke's change of formation at Man City has transformed the team's fortunes in the Premier League ahead of facing Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday – live on Sky Sports
Everything changed for Leeds United and Daniel Farke during half-time at Manchester City on November 29.
The promoted side, who began that weekend in the relegation zone, were 2-0 down at the Etihad and their first season back in the Premier League appeared to be heading in only one direction.
However, the game turned after the restart with Farke's change of formation to 3-5-2. Leeds may have fallen just short on the day – losing 3-2 – but that proved to be the turning point for their season.

… and while the tinkering didn’t bear fruit that day, it’s now seen as a pivotal point in Leeds’ efforts to beat the drop. Since then – and here’s the killer stat – only seven teams have picked up more points than Leeds: Arsenal, City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Chelsea and Brentford. That is not bad going, and Farke’s seat is a lot less hot, his coat-peg less shoogly, as a result.
