MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City appear all but unstoppable in their quest for a third consecutive Premier League title but they are taking nothing for granted as they prepare for Saturday's home game against a Leeds United side battling to beat the drop.

Pep Guardiola's City reclaimed top spot from Arsenal thanks to a 3-0 win over visiting West Ham United on Wednesday and a victory versus Leeds would stretch their lead to four points before the Londoners' tough trip to Newcastle United on Sunday.

"Far too many people think I'm old and antiquated which is so far from the truth," said Allardyce, who has replaced the sacked Javi Garcia for the final four games of the season. "It will be tough . He has the charisma, will put on the pressure to the players and knows exactly what to do in these relegation battles."
