Lawro speaks...

[Halfpenny]

Man City v Newcastle

It looks like Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given won't play - he may be a City player by the end of the week.

Robinho is back for Mark Hughes' team, and City will probably field new signings Craig Bellamy and Nigel de Jong too. With the new talent, there is a feel-good factor at Eastlands.

Newcastle are all over the shop defensively.

Verdict: 2-0

That's us done for then.

Not so sure about Robinho back, but will settle for the 2-0 now.
