Steve Bruce makes just one change for Manchester City – and leaves Sean Longstaff on bench

Steve Bruce has only made one change for this afternoon’s game against Manchester City.

Javier Manquillo starts in place of the DeAndre Yedlin, who has a hip injury.

Otherwise, Bruce has named an unchanged Newcastle United starting XI for the televised game (12.30pm kick-off), which follows a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Sean Longstaff, back from suspension, is on the bench.

NEWCASTLE UNITED: Dubravka; Manquillo, Fernandez, Clark, Dummett, Willems; Almiron, Hayden, Shelvey, Saint-Maximin; Joelinton. Subs: Darlow, Schar, Gayle, Krafth, Atsu, S Longstaff, M Longstaff.
