Champions head to happy hunting ground St James’ Park

The Premier League weekend kicks off at St James Park as underwhelming Newcastle host the reigning champions for a lunchtime kick-off. The Magpies may have three wins from five this season but have flattered to deceive during much of that run before losing their unbeaten run at Fulham last time out.

City, meanwhile, dropped points for the first time last time out, rescuing a late point against Arsenal, but have otherwise sweep aside all before them. Erling Haaland already have 10 goals to his name and will be licking his lips at the prospect of more this afternoon against a weak Newcastle defence.

The hosts are sweating over the fitness of star striker Alexander Isak, who faces a late fitness test after damaging a toe. City will be without both Rodri, for the season, and De Bruyne, for at least another week. Kick-off is at 12.30pm BST and you can follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.

Isak and Rodri out, Murphy and Lewis in

So, the big news for Newcastle is that Isak misses out with a broken toe. Jacob Murphy comes in and it appears Gordon will play centrally. Tonali comes in to beef up midfield.

City are without Rodri, as they will be for the remainder of the season, with Lewis given the nod in midfield alongside Kovacic. Grealish gets the nod over Savinho, Foden and Stones remain on the bench.

Eddie Howe reveals Newcastle conversations

Eddie Howe said he had some honest conversations with his team after last week’s 3-1 defeat at Fulham.

Sixth-placed Newcastle suffered their first loss in the campaign at Craven Cottage last weekend and Howe said that led to an honest look at their shortcomings.

Newcastle's midweek League Cup fixture at AFC Wimbledon was rescheduled due to flooding at Wimbledon's home ground and the postponement gave them some valuable extra time to train.

"We've had two really good days where we've gone to work with the team to try and solve some of the issues from the Fulham game," Howe told reporters on Friday.

"We reviewed and we didn't like ourselves. Some honest conversations this week and hopefully a response... that internal reflection can be really healthy.

“We have to carry a threat. We have to be an attacking force, brave with the ball as well.”
