Team News

Newcastle
Man City
  • Newcastle look set to be without as many as 10 players for the welcome of the champions.
  • The visitors were boosted by the returns of Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku last weekend.
  • John Stones, however, looks set to remain sidelined until the end of the month.
  • Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips have both been suffering with illness, and are doubts.
  • Erling Haaland could return to make his first appearance in over a month here.

Prediction

  • Newcastle put an end to a run of four consecutive defeats when they cruised to victory in the FA Cup third round against rivals Sunderland last weekend.
  • The hosts, though, have still lost five of their last six when it comes to the Premier League.
  • Manchester City have found form at just the right time, with key players returning - they've won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions.
  • Last season's treble winners were victorious when they hosted Newcastle in the reverse league fixture, back in August, but it was the Magpies who knocked City out of the Carabao Cup just over a month later.
  • The away side should take all three points in this one.

  • KDB is back.. Bobby the future

  • That was lucky -)

  • @Marbella 厉害厉害

  • Oscar Bobb is real

  • Pep seriously hates subs huh?? Why not wait till 89th minutes??

  • Quite interesting

  • 2-1 final score

  • @footballover Someone ban this guy fr, incapable of making a correct prediction during the game.

  • One of the games of the season so far, incredible level shown by both

  • Ederson, Walker (C), Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden, Doku, Alvarez

  • Man City ML

  • 0-2

  • Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton has been ruled out for a minimum of 6 WEEKS with a thigh injury.

  • Pep Guardiola has just said Haaland only has a minor chance of playing this weekend as Pep wants to ease him back in the team gradually.

  • City to dominate and score more goals. 0:2

  • Foden to assist more than once and J.Alvarez to score at least once.

  • Haaland has been training well and should be in contention to start.

  • @Marbella if the robot doesn't score 6-7 goals in the next few games, questions about his place in the squad will be raised...the team scored a lot more in his absence.... (I suspect the team had become more comfortable playing a false 9 than an actual 9...) Real Madrid awaits anyway...

  • @Marbella really?

  • Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips missed the Huddersfield win due to illness but could make a return to the matchday squad this weekend.

  • @Marbella Phillips??? : ) Pep will play a goalkeeper in midfield before starting Phillips....(unless it's as a shop window to showcase him to NC...)...but it's wishful that Phillips gets more than half an hour of match time the rest of this month...

  • 1-3 Man City

  • Man City have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 9 league matches.

  • confutable win for city 3-0
