Newcastle United team news vs Man City as Eddie Howe goes unchanged from Brighton

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe went for an unchanged line-up for their home clash against the champions Manchester City.

Matt Targett failed a late fitness test after being hit with hamstring trouble last week. Nick Pope got the chance to up his unbreached record while skipper Kieran Trippier led the defence alongside Sven Botman and Fabian Schar while Dan Burn continued at left-back.

That meant more disappointing news for Jamaal Lascelles who is yet to feature this season. Joe Willock got the nod ahead of Sean Longstaff in midfield alongside Brazilian duo Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton.

And it was Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson who formed a three pronged attack.

NUFC XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Botman, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Willock, Saint-Maximin, Wilson.

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Ritchie, Krafth, Wood, Fraser, Murphy, Anderson, Longstaff.
