With Manchester City set to face Newcastle United on Saturday, we have tried to call their predicted lineup.
After picking quite a strong team in their victory in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, Pep Guardiola could make just two changes to his side.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United
In goal, Ederson looks set to keep his place in our Manchester City predicted lineup against Newcastle United.
At right-back, Kyle Walker is expected to retain his place as well, considering the threat that Eddie Howe’s side offer in transition.
Manuel Akanji could start once again but potentially not asked to drift into midfield like against Sevilla, as he looked quite uncomfortable in the role.
With Pep Guardiola having confirmed (via Manchester Evening News) that an injured John Stones will be unavailable and Ruben Dias could well return for the clash, it is likely that the latter could also start in our Manchester City predicted lineup.
At left-back, Josko Gvardiol could be replaced by Nathan Ake, who could be set to feature on Saturday night.
As per usual, Rodri almost seems guaranteed to start from the off.
Mateo Kovacic could also keep his place in our Manchester City predicted lineup after a bright display in the middle of the park against Sevilla.
With the status around Bernardo Silva’s fitness yet to be confirmed, perhaps Phil Foden will be started once again to allow the former to recover for another week.
At right wing, despite Cole Palmer’s heroics in the Super Cup, Julian Alvarez, branded as ‘extraordinary’ by Khaldoon Al-Mubarak may be favoured for his relentless off-the-ball work against the Magpies.
It goes without saying at this point that Erling Haaland is expected to start for the treble-winners.
While Jack Grealish could make his first Premier League start of the 2023/2024 season on Saturday.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Grealish
