Jesus in for Aguero as Sterling and De Bruyne start

1,579 Comments

Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) only makes the bench for Manchester City, upon his return from a one-match suspension.

The midfielder was forced to sit out last Saturday’s 2-1 win over Chelsea due to a controversial tweet to teammate Benjamin Mendy (£5.7m), although he did start in midweek for their 1-1 Champions League draw with Shakhtar.

There are three changes for the champions ahead of their trip to Newcastle, with Pep Guardiola hoping to avenge last season’s 2-1 defeat on Tyneside.

Kyle Walker (£5.8m) takes the place of Joao Cancelo (£5.3m) at right-back and Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) steps in for Rodrigo (£5.4m) at the base of the midfield, with Sergio Aguero’s (£11.8m) thigh injury ensuring Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) gets the nod alongside Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m) and the out-of-form (FPL-wise) Raheem Sterling (£12.0m).

Jesus has three goals from just 462 minutes of Premier League football this season and will hope to impress his manager today.

Steve Bruce has only made one change for Newcastle following Monday’s poor 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

DeAndre Yedlin (£4.4m) needlessly gave away a free-kick which led to the opening goal but a hip issue sees him miss proceedings today. Javier Manquillo (£4.3m) gets a rare start.

The front three of Joelinton (£5.7m), Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) and Miguel Almiron (£5.8m) have just one goal between them all season but limited back-up options have been further strained with a late rib injury for Andy Carroll (£5.4m).

Eight of Newcastle’s 11 goals have come from defenders and they may target the opposition of John Stones (£5.3m) and Fernandinho (£5.2m) as an opportunity at set pieces.

Sean Longstaff (£5.0m) and brother Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m) both make the home side’s bench, with Fabian Schar (£5.0m) still not ready to return at centre-back.

Joining Silva, Cancelo and Rodrigo on the Man City bench is Nicolas Otamendi (£5.1m) and Phil Foden (£5.1m).

Newcastle United XI (5-4-1): Dubravka; Manquillo, Clark, Fernandez, Dummett, Willems; Almiron, Hayden, Shelvey, Saint-Maximin; Joelinton.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Fernandinho, Stones, Mendy; De Bruyne, Gundogan, D Silva; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

    Their strikers defend.
    Their defenders score.

          City do not win a lot of their tough games by 4 or 5 goals and the goals they do score get spread thin. If you're going to transfer out their players you have to accept they'll score some goals and keep your eye on the bigger picture

No grudges whatsoever just plain statements of fact which is a concept you find impossible to grasp. Provide facts and you gain credibility , continue with blind accusation and you carry on making a kock of yourself. Get real and get a life.

            Manutd at old trafford made even Liv suffocate. Then is burnley who you never know with their discipline. Plus its Mou who really likes to 'attack' right.

        Atleast should be doing when he faced tough teams like Liv. NewC arent as great as in past. Look at their table position. Same with Salah. People removing before Brighton for Son is ridiculous. Bou definitely better side than Brighton

      The way City are playing this season, might as well give Liverpool the premier league already.

      Sterling's been awful since GW8. Don't get how it's a bad decision to sell him before the match against Newcastle. All the top FPL players world wide don't even have him in their squad.
