Erling Haaland, however, will be missing for the game as his foot injury continues. Still, as much as City are favourites, Newcastle have built all their success under Eddie Howe on their form at St James’ Park. Though they were beaten there on Boxing Day by Nottingham Forest, they have proven to be one of the most fearsome home outfits in England.

Last season, the two teams contested a thrilling 3-3 draw on Tyneside and with Newcastle’s morale lifted after beating bitter rivals Sunderland, it could be another entertaining clash. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
