Newcastle United F.C. Vs Man City Lineups will help you a lot to predicting the winner of next FC vs Manchester City football match with better accuracy.

Manchester City could come out firing after manager Pep Guardiola rested many players during Tuesday’s EFL Cup win against Watford. Mateo Kovacic could replace Rodri in central midfield with Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden playing either side of him, respectively.

Newcastle United fell to Fulham last weekend in their inaugural Premier League defeat, and are eager to respond on Tyneside. Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall may come into the fold as possible replacements for Lloyd Kelly and Kieran Trippier.

City XI: Ederson

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is expected to return for Saturday’s match after being rested during Tuesday’s EFL Cup win against Watford. Back-up goalkeeper Stefan Ortega may start in his place; Rico Lewis could challenge Ortega’s starting spot. Kyle Walker may be replaced by Manuel Akanji while Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias may compete for two centre-back spots.

De Bruyne and Ederson will miss out, with Ederson suffering a groin injury which will prevent him from playing any more until the summer. De Bruyne missed Belgium’s friendly matches against Ireland and England due to the issue, while De Bruyne missed his countryman Ederson for similar reasons.

Jeremy Doku was rested during City’s 6-2 win against Luton Town but could return for their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Newcastle United in midweek. Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes or Bernardo Silva will likely partner him in central midfield; right wing attack likely falls to Jeremy Doku; Jack Grealish has slipped back onto the bench due to experiencing illness this week in training.

Walker

Pep Guardiola made a total of nine changes for City’s EFL Cup victory against Watford, and it is likely he will recall some senior stars for their trip to Newcastle. Goalkeeper Ederson will likely play an instrumental role, alongside central defenders Manuel Akanji and Josko Gvardiol as well as right-backs Walker or Rico Lewis; it remains to be seen which of them make an appearance against Newcastle.

Newcastle United have kept up a solid top-four challenge this season despite drawing 1-1 with Chelsea in their previous match and are eager to maintain this momentum at home against a Manchester City side that has struggled on the road this campaign – only winning four times away and losing four times so far in 2024.

Many Newcastle players will be unavailable for this match, such as full-backs Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth who both suffer long-term injuries. Sven Botman may feature for Newcastle Under-21s on Monday and could come in as replacement. Alexander Isak may miss due to a hamstring issue but Callum Wilson might still play after experiencing similar pain against Brentford.

Gvardiol

City defender Josko Gvardiol suffered a groin injury during their midweek EFL Cup defeat against Juventus but looks likely to return for Saturday’s trip to Newcastle. As Pep Guardiola attempts to cope without Rodri, who sustained an injury against Spurs, Gvardiol may keep his place alongside Fabian Schar and Dan Burn.

Former Ajax defender Marcel van Eeden plays predominantly at left-back but has previously seen action at centre-back. Last season he excelled in that position, while this year has proven that he can compete at an elite level by making seven clearances, four blocks, three interceptions and two tackles so far.

Newcastle United have suffered an unfortunate start to the season due to injuries, with striker Alexander Isak likely missing significant time due to a toe fracture and long-term central defenders Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles both out for extended periods of time with back problems respectively; Lewis Miley remains unavailable with back pain while Callum Wilson may return soon, although probably not this weekend.

Kovacic

Though he’s currently sidelined through injury, Kovacic may still start. He played an integral part in City’s 3-0 Club World Cup win against Urawa Red Diamonds and scored one goal himself; Kovacic will likely continue filling Rodri’s knee-related midfield gap – although Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne could feature too.

At the back, Rico Lewis should remain alongside Josko Gvardiol at centre-back for City. Gvardiol impressed in their recent victory against Arsenal and should play an essential part for City in St James’ Park.

Manchester City have two key defensive options in John Stones and Benjamin Mendy who will hope to continue their solid form, while Mendy looks to make his mark back on one of the league’s elite defenders. Bernardo Silva will likely lead Manchester City’s attack, while Jeremy Doku should provide assistance from left wing. Jack Grealish should prove a threat for Newcastle’s defence too.

Bernardo Silva

Though City had some defensive issues, overall their back four was impressive. Ederson never faced much pressure while Rodri and Foden showed great promise.

City has the best head-to-head record against Newcastle among Premier League teams and are clear favorites at home. Newcastle are without two key players who missed training due to sickness – Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku respectively.

The Citizens are hoping to extend their lead over the pack above them as they look for another league victory and extend their streak. Pep Guardiola may make adjustments from his team that defeated Watford, with Manuel Akanji or Rico Lewis possibly replacing Kyle Walker as centre-backs.

Manchester City took control of the game early, yet struggled to break down Newcastle’s organized defense. Isak and Gordon scored some incredible goals to give their side an early edge before Silva struck an incredible effort from distance that put City ahead at halftime.

Foden

Foden had an outstanding debut on Sunday as a substitute and produced some outstanding stats – four chances created, two shots on target, and an assist – but is currently dealing with illness so may not be available to play a significant role Wednesday against San Antonio.

He’s an adequate backup option if he returns, but for now it would likely be wiser not to add him as Kevin De Bruyne should continue as central midfielder.

Foden could also play in between the lines behind Julian Alvarez, similar to how City attacked at Etihad Stadium on August 19 – giving him a great chance to show his abilities in that part of the field.

Haaland

Newcastle are facing an uphill task as they welcome Manchester City to St James’ Park this Saturday, yet they have shown they can cause disruption through a thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal back in January.

Eddie Howe’s side also have the advantage of playing at home, where their fans create an almost sonic force which can overwhelm opponents. Furthermore, Eddie Howe’s men can be at their most effective when attacking from different angles at speed.

Though they remain short on first team players, the Magpies remain without key contributors before hosting unbeaten leaders Middlesbrough this Saturday. Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Jeremy Doku, Sandro Tonali Joelinton Barnes are all potentially unavailable for selection for this matchup.

City will likely field an impressive lineup without Rodri, who suffered an ACL injury against Arsenal. He underwent knee surgery on Friday and won’t be available for some time – although Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva should provide adequate cover at centre-back while midfielders Mainoo and Ugarte can fill in as wing-backs if necessary.
