🗞️ Team News: Manchester City

The Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this game with a completely injury-free squad ready to go.

It seems likely that The Citizens may well employ a 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Ederson Moraes, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Jack Grealish.

📋 Team News: Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has some current player fitness concerns. Callum Wilson (Calf Injury) and Kieran Trippier (Metatarsal Fracture) can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that The Magpies might make use of a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Daniel Burn, Matt Targett, Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood and Allan Saint-Maximin.

We’ve got the feeling that Newcastle United are capable enough to score against this Manchester City side, however that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 win for Manchester City at the end of the 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
