Burn and Gordon start in 7 changes - Confirmed Newcastle and Man City line-ups

The team sheets are out at the Etihad, where Newcastle United take on Man City in today's 3pm kick-off.

We've not won a league game in the blue half of Manchester for 25 years, but will be hoping to capitalise on City's fragile form, especially after Pep Guardiola's side conceded twice in the final five minutes in a midweek defeat to Real Madrid.

Here's the side we've gone with, featuring plenty of changes from last Saturday's cup win:

Confirmed line-ups

STARTING XI: Dubravka - Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall - Bruno, Tonali, Willock - Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

SUBS: Pope, Wilson, Barnes, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Livramento, Longstaff, Miley.

Howe has made seven changes to the side that beat Birmingham in the FA Cup last weekend, with Dubravka, Trippier, Hall, Tonali, Murphy, Isak and Gordon replacing Pope, Livramento, Targett, Longstaff, Miley, Osula and Wilson.

Dan Burn has made a quick recovery from a groin issue and starts again, while Harvey Barnes is back on the bench after missing out since last month's 3-1 win over Bromley.

Anthony Gordon also returns to the side after overcoming a quad issue, but Sven Botman misses out once again, along with Joelinton.

For Man City, they are without Manuel Akanji, Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake and Rodri. Phil Foden returns to their starting XI after he was benched in midweek, with former Toon target Abdukodir Khusanov also in the side along with new signing Nico Gonzalez.

Man City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Khusanov, Stones, Gvardiol, Nico, Gundogan, Foden, Marmoush, Savinho, Haaland (C)

SUBS: Ortega Moreno, Kovacic, Doku, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Reis, Nunes, O'Reilly, McAtee

Our aggregate score at the Etihad is 54-8 in City's favour and we haven't won at this ground since a League Cup win in 2014 - but let's hope we can change that today!

Howay the lads!
