Latest Man City vs Newcastle squad information
The Blues of Manchester are facing a personnel problem as Jack Grealish and Manuel Akanji struggled with muscle problems after the midweek match, their availability is still uncertain. The condition of Oscar Bobb and Nico Gonzalez also needs to be closely monitored, while Rodri is still not expected to return in the near future.
The potential absence of Akanji, who played at right-back against Real Madrid, could force Guardiola to consider Rico Lewis or Matheus Nunes for the position. Nathan Ake, on the other hand, is likely to be ready to start after playing 60 minutes on his return on Tuesday.
Guardiola will have to think carefully about whether to keep John Stones in midfield or give a chance to one or two names such as Gonzalez (if he recovers in time), Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan or Bernardo Silva. On the two wings, the competition for a starting spot will be between Jeremy Doku (recovering from injury), Savinho, Omar Marmoush and Phil Foden.
For Newcastle, Jamaal Lascelles (knee problem) and Harvey Barnes (muscle problem) remain sidelined, while Anthony Gordon (thigh), Joelinton (knee), Sven Botman (knee) and Dan Burn (groin) remain doubtful and will need further assessment before the match.
Goalkeeper Nick Pope started the last game, and coach Howe will have to decide between continuing to trust him or giving Martin Dubravka a chance.
Fabian Schar, Lewis Hall, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak could all be back in the starting line-up after being benched in the FA Cup. Remarkably, Isak has scored 10 of his 17 Premier League goals away from home this season, but has yet to find the net in three trips to the Etihad.
Latest Man City vs Newcastle expected lineup
Manchester City:
Ortega; Nunes, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland
Newcastle United:
Dubravka; Livramento, Botman, Schar, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
Latest Man City vs Newcastle football review
After a hard-fought victory over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup fourth round, Man City suffered another blow in the Champions League three days later. Despite leading Real Madrid with minutes remaining, they were beaten 3-2 at home in the first leg of their play-off on Tuesday.
While Real Madrid are renowned for their epic European comebacks, Man City have a worrisome problem: losing leads in the final minutes of games. This season, they have lost five games after taking the lead – as many as they have in the previous four seasons combined.
Individual errors are costing Pep Guardiola's side dearly, and before they can think about making amends in the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, they need to focus on the race for the Premier League top four. That task is becoming increasingly difficult as they have won only half of their domestic games this season (5 draws, 7 defeats).
A 5-1 defeat to Arsenal two weeks ago left City fifth in the table, 18 points behind leaders Liverpool. They are also two points behind Chelsea and level on points with their next opponents, Newcastle, who have the same goal difference.
However, City fans have reason to be confident, with their team having lost just one of their last 34 Premier League meetings with Newcastle (27 wins, 6 draws). In addition, they have won all 15 of their last home games against Newcastle – only three teams in the history of the competition have had a longer home winning streak against a specific opponent (Everton v Fulham – 22 from 1961 to 2018, Aston Villa v Sheffield United – 16 from 1903 to 1921, and Man United v Luton – 16 from 1955 to present).
Newcastle last won away to City in the Premier League in September 2000, when the hosts were playing at Maine Road. Since then, they have gone 20 games without a win away to City (D2 L18) and have failed to score in their last five visits to the Etihad.
However, Newcastle have been in impressive form away from home, winning their last four Premier League games, including victories over Man United (2-0), Tottenham (2-1) and Arsenal (2-0). The last time they won five consecutive away games was in October 1994 – their only Premier League achievement.
Newcastle also extended their away winning streak in all competitions to six after beating League One leaders Birmingham City 3-2 in the FA Cup fourth round last weekend, with Joe Willock scoring twice and Callum Wilson scoring.
The victory at St Andrews came just three days after Newcastle booked their place in the EFL Cup final, beating Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate over two legs of their semi-final. Ending a seven-decade trophy drought is manager Eddie Howe’s top priority, but securing a place in next season’s Champions League is also a key objective.
Newcastle’s journey ahead is a tough one, with Man City, Nottingham Forest and Liverpool facing them in their next three Premier League games, plus Aston Villa, Chelsea and Arsenal after that. However, they have picked up 11 points from their games against these sides this season, showing they can perform well in big games.
