Manchester City
Pep Guardiola has new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Manchester City manager will be bereft of the services of three first-team players vs Newcastle United on Saturday.
Manuel Akanji and Jack Grealish are the latest absentees, with the duo recovering from the muscle injuries they picked up earlier this week against Real Madrid. Rodri is a long-term absentee, with the Ballon d’Or winner on his comeback trail from a knee issue.
Stefan Ortega should take his spot between the sticks, with Manchester City lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Newcastle United on Saturday. The backline will likely feature Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, and Josko Gvardiol.
As for the midfield unit, Mateo Kovacic should line up alongside winter signing Nico Gonzalez in the double pivot. Phil Foden will likely reprise the no. 10 role, with Omar Marmoush, Savinho, and Erling Haaland completing the numbers in the final third.
Newcastle United
Unlike his counterpart in the Manchester City dugout, Eddie Howe has no new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to the Etihad Stadium. The Newcastle United manager will be without four first-team players on Saturday.
Dan Burn (groin) and Anthony Gordon (hamstring) are fit and available to take on Manchester City. However, Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Joelinton (knee), and Harvey Barnes (hamstring) remain on the sidelines.
Nick Pope should take his spot between the sticks, with Newcastle United lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Manchester City on Saturday. The backline should feature Valentino Livrament, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall.
As for the midfield unit, Joelinton’s continued absence means Sean Longstaff should line up alongside Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes in the middle of the park. Finally, Alexander Isak will spearhead the Newcastle United attack against Manchester City, with Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon being the two wide attackers.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Nunes, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Manchester City have found the back of the net in each of their last 32 matches against Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Newcastle United
The less said about Newcastle's away record against Man City the better, but there is reason for the Magpies to be optimistic heading into Saturday's contest, which arguably represents one of their best chances in recent years to come out on top against a mentally and physically fragile Citizens outfit. Both teams could well be on the scoresheet here, particularly the hosts who have found the net in each of their last 32 Premier League games against Newcastle, but we feel that Guardiola's men may ultimately struggle to put their stamp on the contest against a settled and well-organised Magpies side, so a score draw could be on the cards.
