Newcastle United’s bid to reach their first FA Cup semi-final in almost two decades sees them make the trip west to face the reigning holders of the competition. Manchester City demolished Luton Town in the last round and will be keen to avenge their defeat in the Carabao Cup to the Magpies back in September.
Newcastle United head into the game on the back of a disappointing defeat to Chelsea on Monday night and have fresh injury concerns to deal with from that game. Anthony Gordon was forced off with a knee injury during the first-half with Eddie Howe also set to be without Kieran Trippier this weekend after he sustained an injury against Wolves.
Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, has a relatively fresh squad to pick from this weekend. Ederson did suffer an injury against Liverpool, however, with Stefan Ortega regularly picked as his cup goalkeeper, it’s likely that he wouldn’t have featured on Saturday evening anyway.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of Newcastle United’s FA Cup clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium:
9. Elliot Anderson - doubt
Anderson has featured as a very late substitute in Newcastle’s last three outings. The club will be keen to ensure he isn’t rushed back into action too quickly and may have to be content for a place on the bench again on Saturday. | Getty Images
10. Kieran Trippier - out
Trippier was substituted just after half-time against Wolves with a calf injury. He is expected to miss Saturday's game but could be back in action after the international period if there are no setbacks to his injury. | Getty Images
11. Harvey Barnes - doubt
Barnes missed the trip to Stamford Bridge with a hamstring issue and is a doubt for Saturday’s game. | Getty Images
12. Anthony Gordon - out
Gordon picked up a knee injury at Stamford Bridge on Monday night with Howe saying post-match that the club ‘fear it's not looking too good’. An official update is awaited but there is hope that his injury isn't too serious. | Getty Images
