Team News
Newcastle
Man City
- Newcastle's injury list is slowly shortening, with Ba, Santon, Tiote and Ben Arfa all having come through the Fulham game last week unscathed.
- However, they still remain without 5 players, while Gabriel Obertan is a doubt and probably won't make it, though even if he is fit he would be unlikely to displace any of the forward 3.
- Alan Pardew will probably field a similar lineup to the one he did at Fulham, though may even drop Cisse and add in another central midfielder against a strong team like City.
- Captain Vincent Kompany was forced off early on against Manchester United last week with a hamstring injury, and he is a severe doubt to make it back for the trip to Newcastle, with Kolo Toure favoured over Lescott as his replacement at present.
- Carlos Tevez changed the game after coming off the bench against United, and he should start this time round as a result.
- James Milner could be back in contention for City, while Jack Rodwell's hamstring injury seems like it will continue to keep him out.
- Gareth Barry was handed a suspension by The FA for using abusive language towards an official in the Manchester derby last week, so Javi Garcia may start alongside Yaya Toure.
