After a poor week of results, Manchester City looks to get its title challenge back on track Saturday, facing a Leeds United team that has slipped into 18th place in the Premier League standings.
It's back to the drawing board for Pep Guardiola and his Man City team after their recent run of good form ground to a halt with last weekend's 2-1 defeat away to Newcastle -- a result that has left City seven points behind leader Arsenal in the English Premier League table. Guardiola has garnered some rare criticism after making 10 changes in Tuesday's surprise 2-0 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League.
Man City welcome a Leeds team to the Etihad that has seen its solid early-season form collapse with three successive league defeats. With today's tough fixture coming ahead of games against big guns Chelsea and Liverpool, manager Daniel Farke and his men look set to for an extended stay in the relegation zone.
This match at the Etihad Stadium will be broadcast on NBCSN, along with streaming service Peacock. To catch the game live, you'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription.
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
No broadcaster in the UK has the rights to show this game live because of the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout. This prohibits matches from being shown in the region at that time to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.
That also means that if you're traveling in the UK, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game as you normally would at home due to geoblocking.
There's one option to circumvent this. As explained above, you can use a VPN to set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and then proceed from there.
