Man City starting line-up and substitutes:
The Magpies are set to welcome Pep Guardiola’s rampant City side to St James’ Park in the Premier League tonight.
Newcastle will head into the game riding high on confidence, after their impressive 3-2 away win at West Ham United on Saturday – a result that brought to an end their miserable run of four successive league defeats.
Rafa Benitez’s side currently sit in 15th spot in the table, although they still have one eye over their shoulders, with just a single point separating both themselves and 18th placed Bournemouth.
The Citizens, meanwhile, have been nothing short of sensational from the very first weekend of the season.
They currently sit comfortably at the top of the pile, 12 points clear of second placed Manchester United.
Guardiola has implemented a style of football at the Etihad that proved to be so successful during his reign as Barcelona manager, and it would take a catastrophic collapse from his side for them not to win the league this season.
A win for the hosts could see them jump as high as 12th in the table, whilst the visitors can stretch their lead at the top of the table to 15 points with a victory.
