Team News

Newcastle
Man City
  • Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley and Callum Wilson remain ruled out, though the quartet are Newcastle's only confirmed absentees.
  • Newcastle's midweek EFL Cup meeting with Wimbledon was postponed, so they have had plenty of time to prepare for Saturday's game.
  • Alexander Isak is a doubt owing to a toe issue.
  • Rodri is set to miss the rest of the season following a serious knee injury and joins Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake on the sidelines.
  • Kevin De Bruyne missed the midweek win over Watford and also won't return here.

Prediction

  • Newcastle saw their unbeaten start to the season abruptly ended last time out as they fell to a 3-1 loss at Fulham. They did see their midweek EFL Cup game postponed, so have had extra time to prepare for Saturday's welcome of Manchester City.
  • City booked their spot in the next round of the EFL Cup in midweek to follow up their exciting 2-2 draw with Arsenal last time out. Pep Guardiola's side have won 10 of their last 12 meetings with the Magpies.
  • City are expected to get back to winning ways in the league, and are favourites to secure the spoils in Saturday's early kick off.
