Newcastle United v Manchester City: When it is, television details and injury news as Eddie Howe’s side look to put Liverpool disappointment behind them

Fresh from their 7-0 demolition of Leeds United, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are next up for Eddie Howe’s side.

Newcastle have taken just ten points from their 17 league games so far this season and have only defeated the Citizens at St James’s Park once since 2005 – a Michael Owen goal was enough for the victory on that occasion.

This fixture last campaign provided great entertainment when Manchester City ran out 4-3 winners. Goals from Emil Krafth, Joelinton and Joe Willock were not enough for Steve Bruce’s side on that occasion.
