Newcastle United will be the fresher of the two sides but can they find a way of halting Man City's title charge?
That is the big question ahead of Sunday's big clash against Pep Guardiola's side. Although, in recent tussles against the big boys, Eddie Howe's side have certainly showed they can live with the top four.
They only lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and ran Liverpool close last weekend at St James' Park.
Lee Ryder's prediction
I'm trying to see anything other than a home win here but I think that revved up City will have too much. The best I can forecast is an improved display at what has been a difficult venue for Newcastle down the years.
If Newcastle can deliver their A-game and take advantage of City's jittery status, the Magpies are capable of a point. Being brave I'll go for a score draw.

Stuart Attwell (Warwickshire)
He was notably in charge of Newcastle's only win here in the League Cup in 2014. An omen?
