In the final Premier League match of the day, Newcastle United host champions Manchester City at St Jamesโ€™ 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

    Completely my fault. Sterling offside goal and Mount came close but once Leeds scored Chelsea were dire.

      Really not sure what to do as I have Mount but don't want to rush a transfer.

        Same boat with Neto.
        I always wait until just before deadline, but a price rise is going to price me out of the move.

      Difficult one for me.. I need to bring a new keeper in which will likely be sanchez.. which will mean Rodrigo vs sanchez as my 2 moves which would be counter productive.

    Would Maddy -> Rodrigo be dumb? I haven't seen either of the two play and on paper they both seem consistent. Maddy's 1.8M more expensive and I still have some traumas about him blanking whenever I own him, so I'm hesitant to keep him ๐Ÿ˜€

      Maddy’s got some mad stat like he’s scored 25 goals in his last 29 matches? The season’s so new it’s difficult to judge consistent performance but if it ain’t broke… Mind I doubted Rodrigo this morning and now I’m thinking of getting on the bandwagon

    Started with two Leicester keepers, time to end the pain. Have a budget of 6m, which keeper would you go for? Currently thinking Sanchez.

    Ward Iversen
    TAA Gabriel James Cancelo Patterson
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Andreas Bailey
    Haaland Jesus Archer

      Sanchez and Ramsdale are the best options imo but you’re maxed out on Arsenal spots so it’s an easy decision!

      I’m thinking Sanchez. No-one seems to be confident of a clean sheet so Sanchez looking great value
