Team News
Newcastle under Eddie Howe have made some smart signings this summer. Key midfielder Bruno Guimarães is fit and expected to play after leaving the field due to an ankle injury and he will control the game from midfield. However Joae is out with a Hamstring injury that can affect their mid. After recovering from a minor injury, Sven Botman is expected to start in the defense. Alexander Isak will lead the attack with speed and Finishing prowess while Callum Wilson will play a big part either in the starting or from the bench.
Pep Guardiola’s side still looks strong but they have some issues in their squad. Having Kevin De Bruyne out with a long-term hamstring and Rodri set to miss the remainder of the season, they might be replaced by Mateo Kovasic and Matheus Nunes to join Gundogan. In the defense John Stones might also miss due to injury. Pep Guardiola might start Akanji or Nathan Ake to partner Ruben Dias. In the front line Erling Haaland will lead the attack behind Phil Foden or Alvarez. Doku will start in the wing with his speed and skills.
