Man City won yet another trophy midweek after defeating Spanish side Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup. The match was ultimately decided via penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regular time. It’s yet more silverware for Pep Guardiola’s unstoppable side, who are aiming for a record-breaking fourth EPL title in a row this season. And their league campaign got off to a winning start with a 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Burnley on EPL opening night. However, the loss of Kevin De Bruyne to injury during that match has slightly blighted the jubilant mood in the City camp.
Meanwhile, Newcastle were arguably the most impressive side of the Premier League opening weekend. The Magpies tore through Aston Villa in a stylish 5-1 victory that set down a marker that other clubs will now need to measure up to. However, a visit to the Etihad Stadium will fill the Geordie faithful with fear. Newcastle have never won at this ground, and last claimed a point there in 2006. In fact, Newcastle’s overall record against Man City is frankly shocking. In the last 30 matches between these two sides, Newcastle have managed only a single win, while Man City claimed victory on 25 occasions.
Here's how the team's lineup:
Man City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Grealish.
Newcastle: Pope, Trippier. Schar, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
Can Man City continue their remarkable record against Newcastle, or will the traveling Toon Army finally see their side earn all three points at the Etihad Stadium? You’ll have to watch the Man City vs Newcastle live stream to find out, and we’ll show you how to do so below.
