Newcastle United will travel to Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Newcastle United face a daunting task of getting a positive result from their next Premier League game, as the Magpies travel to Etihad Stadium to face league leaders Manchester City.
While talks of potential takeover and lack of transfer funds are grabbing attention at Newcastle, Benitez is facing a tough task in grinding out results with the squad he has at his disposal.
The Magpies have lost just once in their last five Premier League games, and one can expect a defensive strategy from Benitez when they take on the league leaders.
Manchester City lost 4-3 against Liverpool in their last match, and Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday.
Benitez will be looking to pack the defence and stay compact throughout the game, and therefore we can expect Javier Manquillo to return to the side.
Aleksander Mitrovic is back in full training, and he could play some part with Dwight Gayle being doubtful for the match.
Joselu scored against Swansea City, and he is expected to start in place of Ayoze Perez.
