newcastle team news
Newcastle have no new injury concerns after last week’s defeat to Fulham, and with the Carabao Cup match against Wimbledon postponed due to rain, the Magpies missed out on picking up any injuries in that competition as well.
Eddie Howe will certainly pick the strongest side against City, although he may have difficulty figuring out which players to include in that side after unconvincing displays against Fulham and Wolves.
Lloyd Kelly and Joe Willock were both replaced at half-time during last week’s defeat to the Magpies, so Lewis Hall and Jacob Murphy can expect to start in their place. Alternatively, Sandro Tonali could be in to make his first league start following the expiry of his betting ban.
The front line of Barnes, Isaac and Gordon seem to have cemented their places in the starting line-up, as do Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton in midfield.
