Manchester City have enjoyed an unblemished start to their Premier League title defence.
Erling Haaland stole the headlines on the opening weekend with both goals on his Premier League debut at West Ham, while Bournemouth were taken apart by a more recognisable ensemble performance from Pep Guardiola’s men.
Newcastle have taken four points from the first six on offer and, like City, Eddie Howe’s team are yet to concede this season.
The progress under Howe since Newcastle’s Saudi takeover has been substantial but they still shipped 4-0 and 5-0 to City last term.

1hr 20 mins to kickoff: Although, in all fairness, West Ham away on the opening weekend of the season looked like a tricky proposition for City until the match kicked off. Pep Guardiola’s side are pretty good at turning such situations into walkovers and Newcastle’s initial aim will be to avoid such a fate. We’ll have team news in about 20 minutes,
1hr 40 mins to kickoff: Is this game on the road to becoming one of English football’s big fixtures? Fresh from their Saudi takeover, Newcastle were beaten 4-0 and 5-0 by City last season but the optimism and momentum around Eddie Howe’s side continues to build. After a sensible rather than outlandish summer in the transfer market, they can provide the champions with their toughest test of the season so far.

Newcastle vs. Man City predicted lineups
Fitness doubts around Emil Krafth and Matt Targett give Howe decisions to make at full-back, where Kieran Trippier’s versatility could see him fielded at left-back. Guardiola has fielded left-footers Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez on City’s right flank so far this season, so such a ploy would add up.
Newcastle projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Pope (GK) — Krafth, Burn, Schar, Trippier — Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton — Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin
Kalvin Phillips and Cole Palmer have each overcome niggles and can be expected to take places on the City bench alongside new signing Sergio Gomez. It feels likely that Guardiola will stick with a similar XI to those that beat West Ham and Bournemouth, especially now Bernardo Silva’s future no longer feels like such a hot-button issue
Manchester City projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo — De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan — Foden, Haaland, Grealish
