In the final Premier League match of the day, Newcastle United host champions Manchester City at St James’ Park.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

For the visitors, Pep Guardiola makes two changes from the side that beat Bournemouth 4-0 in Gameweek 2, as John Stones and Bernardo Silva replace Ruben Dias and Riyad Mahrez, both of whom drop to the bench.

They sit alongside new signing Sergio Gomez, but Jack Grealish misses out through injury.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are unchanged after last weekend’s goalless draw at Brighton and Hove Albion.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton, Almiron, Saint-Max, Wilson

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

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Dias, Mbete, Lewis, Gomez, Phillips, Mahrez, Alvarez, Palmer

    Eventhough Haaland scored he could score 3 by now. The worst gameweek ever.

    That run reminded me of Brazilian Ronaldo in his prime just shoving defenders out of the way running past them.

    When you ask everyone's advice on who to play? Ward or Sanchez..., consensus = Ward. Andreas, Trippier or Neco Williams...consensus = Neco. Currently have 23pts on my bench...Sanchez, Andreas & Trippier...ouch!!

        Moral of the story is 'play your own game'...I initially had both Sanchez & Andreas in to play but changed due to other's majority opinions. Lesson learned!!

      Why would you rely on others to decide for you? Use opinions to inform but make your own choices. I told people to play Sanchez due to form and West Ham's poor record against Brighton

        Tbh, I don't think they actively wanted me to make poor choices. Hindsight is a wonderful thing hey? Won't be asking for others advice as much in the future though. I'm good enough at the game and watch enough football to not put so much trust in the 'hive mind'. Lesson learned the hard way!!
