THE LOWDOWN
MAN CITY
- Man City’s dramatic late collapse in Madrid saw them bow out of the Champions League after extra time in midweek under the most unbelievable of circumstances and Pep Guardiola has a big test on his shoulders to pick his players up and get them ready for a crucial Premier League match in the battle to win the league.
- Right back Kyle Walker was passed fit to start against Real Madrid, but hobbled off after 72 minutes and has to be considered a doubt for this one, whilst centre-back John Stones could also miss out once again.
NEWCASTLE
- Newcastle put up an excellent fight at St. James’ Park against Liverpool last Saturday, but the Reds did enough to beat them 0-1 and now the Magpies face off against Liverpool’s direct competition for the Premier League title in Man City.
- Both Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson are getting closer and closer to full fitness, however Ryan Fraser, Isaac Hayden and Jamal Lewis all remain out.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN CITY
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Jesus, Sterling, Grealish
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Stones (Injured), Walker (Injured), Laporte (Injured)
NEWCASTLE
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Dubravka; Krafth, Lascelles, Burn, Targett; Guimaraes, Shelvey, Willock; Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton
UNAVAILABLE: Fraser (Injured), Hayden (Injured), Lewis (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Schar (Injured), Trippier (Injured), Wilson (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
There is no doubt that this contest represents a huge mental test for Man City following the devastation of being knocked out of the Champions League and one they simply must pass if they are to maintain the driving seat in this exhilarating Premier League title race. Newcastle won’t prove easy to break down and brush aside as shown against Liverpool last weekend and City will have to dig deep across 90 minutes. However, the past has told us that this Man City team under Guardiola react well to defeat and it would be np surprise to see them take out their frustrations on Newcastle, by putting on a performance worthy of champions. Expect a home win by at least two clear goals.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
