They will be up for it after the momentum they got from ripping Villa apart. Isak will be hard to handle on counters. they have speed on the wings, and some serious physical power in the middle with Tonali, bruno, Joelinton.

Bruno Tonoli in midfield?

This is no different to playing after a champions League game, it hasn't suddenly made Newcastle into 2011 Barca.

Haaland hattrick, 4-1 City.

Why would we be training after flying back from Greece ??

Gutted for JS...hopefully it isn't a bad one and he'll be back for the following weekend.

In that case though I would go for Walker-Dias-Gvardiol-Ake at the back....with Gvardiol the one moving into midfield ala Johnny boy usually does (and that Akanji made look very difficult last night!!), as he looks the most comfortable on the ball and moving forward.

Play a more traditional formation then.

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake
Rodri, Kovacic
Bernardo, Foden, Grealish
Haaland
