🗞️ Team News: Newcastle United

It’s our opinion that The Magpies will probably make use of the 4-3-3 system in the match, beginning the first half with Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Lewis Hall, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes.

📰 Team News: Manchester City

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just a single fitness problem for the Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to contend with. Mateo Kovacic (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.

We believe The Citizens appear most likely to make use of a 4-1-4-1 system, starting Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O'Reilly, Nico Gonzalez, Rayan Cherki, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment here is that Newcastle United will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this Manchester City lineup who we think might score at least once to put them ahead.

We therefore fancy a narrow 0-1 winning margin for Manchester City when the full-time whistle blows.

Let’s see how this one goes.
