Team News

Man City
Newcastle
  • Kevin De Bruyne is out for 3-4 months with a bad hamstring injury and we won't see him for a while. John Stones is also on the treatment table and should miss out.
  • Bernardo Silva had a reported fever and did not travel with the squad to Greece for their Super Cup triumph.
  • Cole Palmer scored the equaliser against Sevilla and played the majority of the 90 minutes, and could be in contention.
  • Joe Willock is likely to miss out alongside Javier Manquillo and Emil Krafth.
  • Harvey Barnes came off the bench to pick up an assist and a goal against Aston Villa and could start in place of Anthony Gordon.
  • Alexander Isak scored a brace against Villa but Wilson did score coming off the bench. Howe could start the latter in place of the Swede as a result to manage their fitness.

Prediction

  • Manchester City brought back their first ever UEFA Super Cup from Greece as they return to Premier League football against Newcastle.
  • It's last season's Champions against the over-achievers in Eddie Howe's Newcastle as City return to Manchester to play for the first time since having won the Champions League. This fixture last season saw a 3-3 draw within the opening weeks of the season, and there might be a similar result here.
  • The hosts easily dispatched of newly promoted Burnley, but the more impressive result from the weekend was Newcastle's 5-1 demolition of Aston Villa. Alexander Isak in particular was fantastic, whilst debutant's Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes opened their Newcastle accounts for the season.
  • City were electric at home last season, but this is a new season, and we might see a tight game between these two well-oiled sides.

    Newcastle has a way to go. What is more how on earth can you put old turtle Wilson to play on the counterattack? because he is your friend? You can do it against slow defenders not vs likes of Gvardiol...

    This might be a surprise loss for City actually, De Bruyne was vital last year for this matchup’s 3-3 draw, and without that playmaking genius, Haaland will likely have a much more difficult time finding chances
