Manchester City will be without Kevin de Bruyne and Ederson will likely sit this one out due to illness issues. Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish may also miss out.
Newcastle United have experienced their own injury concerns with Dan Burn and Elliot Anderson both currently sidelined. Fabian Schar is expected to return as center-back alongside Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman. In this article, we will discuss about newcastle united f.c. vs man city lineups.
1. Dubravka
After climbing out of relegation danger, Newcastle are fighting hard for European football next season. Unfortunately, their chances were dealt a blow on Monday when young star Anthony Gordon had to withdraw due to an injury sustained against Chelsea – expected to miss against City. Dan Burn is also still uncertain following his comeback from injury, along with Kieran Trippier, Harvey Barnes, Nick Pope Joelinton and Sandro Tonali among others.
Stefan Ortega should retain his spot as goalkeeper against Arsenal on Saturday. After making four saves and conceding three goals against Chelsea last weekend, he could get some rest ahead of their match up as his record is 26 goals conceded from 10 matches since September 1st.
2. Livramento
Tino Livramento remains likely to retain his right back position following an impressive showing against Sheffield United, alongside Fabian Schar in central defence.
This 24-year-old was raised as a fan of Chelsea and studied there for five years, before going on to other clubs’ academy systems. Now he is starting to demonstrate why so many big teams want him.
Injury problems remain a persistent one for Harvey Barnes. He suffered a knock during Newcastle’s loss against Chelsea and could miss out this time as well. Eddie Howe must monitor Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon, who both received injuries in that game, as well as Harvey Barnes, Kieran Trippier, Nick Pope, Callum Wilson Joelinton and Sandro Tonali (all who remain out). It could come down to who is fittest taking their chance against Manchester City.
3. Schar
Pep Guardiola has made five changes to Manchester City’s team that began last weekend’s 1-1 Premier League draw against Liverpool, replacing Ederson in goal with Stefan Ortega Moreno while adding Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol alongside captain Kyle Walker at the back. Rodri, Kovacic and Bernardo form central midfield trio Rodri-Kovacic-Bernardo while Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland provide Foden support up front.
At Newcastle United’s cost, losing Tino Livramento due to injury was a big blow, yet Lewis Hall returned as his replacement, while Lascelles and Schar are expected to team up together again as Lascelles was injured earlier. Joelinton, Elliot Anderson, Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes will also miss the match, so Jacob Murphy and Jack Grealish may make appearances from the bench for them on Tuesday at Etihad Stadium – it kicks off at 7pm!
4. Burn
Newcastle United have welcomed back Jeremy Doku from sickness this week. Jack Grealish remains on the bench as he recovers from an injured thigh muscle.
Burn finds space to head Murphy’s corner back across goal, but Ortega quickly eliminates the threat. Foden then has his low shot blocked by Schar.
Silva’s pass eludes Foden and he fires over from distance. Silva then found space to set up Isak, but his attempt was deflected wide by the home defence. Doku was fouled by Gvardiol and left off, replaced by Bobb.
5. Longstaff
Youngster Josh Vaughan has been an impressive revelation this season for Newcastle United and could see his starting role increase against Manchester City. In his last two matches alone he scored twice and achieved career-bests in terms of shots, crosses, and tackles.
Howe has every right to consider selling him during the transfer window, though his future remains bright for Newcastle United and he remains one of their key players.
At an impressive first half performance, his goal propelled his side into an early lead. His lofted ball over Kieran Trippier triggered an attack; while later helping create equaliser via Alexander Isak’s pull back. Alexander then had a chance for third goal but his header was blocked before also coming close in second half; unfortunately his shot went wide.
6. Guimaraes
After his underwhelming display against Arsenal on Sunday, Guimaraes will be keen to make himself heard against City. He can help restrain James Maddison while offering prompt from deep and being an goal threat himself; indeed his goal against Fulham served as further reminder that Howe relies heavily on him.
“Foden must use his aggressive style to break City’s rhythm, yet be wary not to leave himself out of position in possession. Otherwise, Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva could punish Newcastle’s central defenders.”
7. Murphy
Manchester City are two wins away from winning their fourth Premier League crown under Pep Guardiola, currently two points clear of Liverpool and having put in an impressive performance against Tottenham Hotspur last week by crushing them 5-0.
Newcastle are currently eyeing up a sixth-place finish and European football next season, but still face an uphill task with Joelinton Barnes still injured and Jacob Murphy possibly sidelined due to calf problems.
Jeremy Doku should make his return after suffering illness this week, while Jack Grealish could miss out for Newcastle. Willy Boly could serve as an effective replacement. Meanwhile for City, Stefan Ortega should replace Ederson in goal as Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol Rodri Foden will begin their match. Kevin de Bruyne could even make one final appearance of the season as a substitute player.
8. Isak
Isak has made an immediate impression since joining Newcastle and is earning regular first-team opportunities. His pace and aerial threat make him an effective threat on the right wing, while his ability to score from anywhere has earned comparisons to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Isak scored his fifth goal and four shots over three Premier League matches since January 1, against Wolves. This makes him an unpredictable threat who could provide Newcastle with the match-winner they require.
Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland will likely join him in attack, while Anthony Gordon could miss out while recovering from the injury that forced him off against Chelsea. Harvey Barnes, Kieran Trippier, Nick Pope Joelinton Callum Wilson and Sandro Tonali will also not feature due to disciplinary reasons.
9. Almiron
Eddie Howe remains uncertain as to the severity of Almiron’s knee injury after he left Newcastle’s previous match just 11 minutes in. It will likely be game-time decision but will probably rule him out, along with fellow injured players Fabian Schar and Jamaal Lascelles as well as midfielders Elliot Anderson and Joe Willock who remain out with injury as well as striker Sandro Tonali.
Adam Armstrong may make way for Jeremy Doku as Howe looks to maintain the same attacking lineup from Sunderland that saw them claim victory on derby day; Gordon may start on the left and Joelinton in the centre; Jacob Murphy should lead Newcastle up front and be joined by fellow winger Longstaff.
10. Gordon
Eddie Howe and Pep Guardiola have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of kick-off at St James’ Park. Dubravka will return between the posts for Newcastle, hoping to add another clean sheet to his impressive tally this season.
Ederson will take a seat after suffering a groin injury against Liverpool. Ortega Moreno will be protected by Walker, Dias, Akanji and Gvardiol on City’s back four, with Rodri, Kovacic and Bernardo filling out their engine room squads.
Jack Grealish remains in doubt for City, while Josko Bobb and Erling Haaland could feature. Lewis Miley and Joe Willock will not play, guaranteeing an explosive matchup between two of the top teams in the Premier League – where the winner could narrow their gap on leaders by two points.
