Ah, shame they've got some of their big guns back.

A really good test for us though, beat that team on a Saturday night in Newcastle and we're right in this race.

 

[.db.]

Hate it when teams announce their line-ups in number order.

 

[PragueBlue]

Probably about our best 11 at the moment while Rodri is out.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

As expected. Perfect line-up again. We NEVER had a proper first 11 during the entire 24/25 season. Finally some consistency and a team that can be trusted.

And the more they play together the better they become as a team.

 

[blueparrot]

All the moaning from Newcastle about their injuries, lol. That's their strongest XI right now.

Yes it is, but some might not be very match fit and they don’t have a lot on the bench.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

No Gordon ??

 

[eastmanc]

Same side, good. Come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[Gorbachev]

could be a high scoring draw this

Newcastle only scored more than one goal 3 times in 11 games this season.

Be 1-1, or 2-1 either way for me.

Eddie Howe hasn't beat us in 18 attempts it must be noted.

 

[pudge]

I don't see both us and Arsenal getting three points this weekend, hopefully we can get the job done today

 

[Haaland94]

Our best available 11, so excited now.

 

[eversince 76]

Unchanged starting 11? That would be my choice if I was to be … anyways. Always difficult to get a result up north. Confidence must ride high under our players. Lets hope for 3 points so we can sit back and relax.

 

[youngbob]

No Gordon ??

Injured and playing shite anyway. 0 goals 0 assists this season in the PL.

 

[rowarta]

No Gordon ??

 

[pbueno16]

No nonsense in that lineup. Just a consistent XI so should be some good build up. Just need to be careful of their midfield getting physical and kickstarting counters

 

[TinFoilHat]

Let's smash the chip stealing, horse punching bastards!

COME ON CITY!

 

[Gabriel]

Lewis misses out. Midfielders have to be brave, play their football, and keep possession when their midfield three come snarling through and their challenges go unpunished.

 

[deano ou812]

Can’t complain about that line up maybe a bit more solid in midfield if we switch Cherki for reindjers,but let’s go ..

 

[super_city_si]

They’ve got some players back now. Should be short of fitness though.

 

[TFC]

Can't lie, I'm loving that team

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Still no rodders. Getting worrying now
