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

      Hard to ignore Martinelli but since you have Aaronson hard to grab Rodrigo but I’d prefer him since he’s an OOP striker

    Willock gives the ball away then gets nutmegged for a goal. How is this guy in the premier league?

    1. Zilla
      4 years, 1 month ago

  8. Kaneyonero
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why play so open Newcastle? 3-1 up, just stay back for christ.. Oh, i forgot, money was fast tracked after 3-1 from Manchester to Newcastle

  10. The Philosopher
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should've started Trippier instead of Cancelo ffs

    1. JammySprat
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But cancelo will score 2 yet

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That would’ve been a mad decision

  11. Chalobah's Witness

    well that was unlucky, it came from a Newcastle defender. Would have never reached Silva.

    1. lilmessipran
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Willock got nutmegged, it had the right amount of power to nutmeg him and reach Silva before it reached Pope..nothing unlucky about that

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 1 month ago

        did you see the deflection?
        Do you want to say KDB did it on purpose? 😀

        1. lilmessipran
          4 years, 1 month ago

          The deflection occured while Willock was trying to close his legs, I am sure that nutmeg pass was intended though

  12. Rainer
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bernardo wagon 2.0.

  13. lilmessipran
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pope crooked

  14. meenabakery
    4 years, 1 month ago

  15. Football is home

    1. SAY MY NAME
      4 years, 1 month ago

  26. Feloh

    1. Khark
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If that's a reference to Trippier then Newcastle looked dreadful against Brighton last week and were very lucky to get a cleansheet.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I mean Brighton could have beaten Newcastle 3-0 or 4-0 last week
