Manchester City take on Newcastle

Newcastle, beaten by Liverpool last weekend, face a second Premier League title rival in succession as they travel to take on Manchester City.

Eddie Howe’s side will hope to continue a disappointing week for their opponents, who were knocked out of the Champions League.

That last-four exit to Real Madrid leaves league success as Manchester City’s only route to a major trophy this year.

The reverse fixture in December finished with Pep Guardiola’s side comfortable 4-0 winners.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.

Pep Guardiola confirmed on Friday that Kevin De Bruyne’s substitution against Real Madrid was for tactical reasons rather than due to injury, so the Belgian is set to be involved. Kyle Walker made an ahead-of-schedule return for the semi-final exit but did not last 90 minutes, and may start on the bench; John Stones appears unlikely to figure having not been fit enough to travel to the Spanish capital.

Kieran Trippier (fractured foot) has been back in training for Newcastle, a welcome end-of-season boost for Eddie Howe. A spot on the bench appears his likeliest route back to the matchday squad at this stage, where he may be joined by Callum Wilson – the striker is another recent returnee after injury.

Predicted line-ups

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Ake, Laporte, Zinchenko; Bernardo, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Krafth, Lascelles, Burn, Targett; Willock, Shelvey, Guimaraes; Almiron, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin

Odds

Manchester City win 1/5

Draw 38/5

Newcastle win 20/1
