Confirmed Newcastle team to face Man City - Botman, Bruno and Saint-Maximin all start

The team sheets are out ahead of today's 4.30pm kick off on Tyneside, seeing us take on Manchester City at St James' Park.

Without further ado, here's the side Eddie Howe has gone with against the reigning champions:

STARTING XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton; Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Wilson.

SUBS: Dubravka, Lascelles, Ritchie, Krafth, Wood, Fraser, Murphy, Anderson, Longstaff.

So, Matt Targett misses out once again, with Howe sticking with the side that drew 0-0 at Brighton last weekend.

Jonjo Shelvey remains out with a hamstring injury that will sideline the midfielder until December, but Emil Krafth is back on the bench.

For Man City, Ruben Dias is missing, meaning John Stones starts alongside Nathan Ake.

Here's the 11 Pep Guardiola has gone with, featuring star duo Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in from the start:

XI | Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Dias, Phillips, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Mbete, Palmer, Lewis
