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

    Getting Rodrigo for Rashford worked well. Very well as ownership is still low and great fixtures to help continue double pointer form. What work rate and chance creation he is doing

    Is Gabriel worth the 0.4m over Saliba?

    Haaland 3 games in
    What's everyone's thoughts ?
    My opinion
    Ticking along nicely but
    Until he shows he can haul (2 or 3 goals or assists in a game ) not as yet in my opinion captain material
    Okay did it v WH but one was a penalty
    Seems to spend a lot of time creating space for other City players
    Plenty of other performing forwards most cheaper (Toney , Mitro ,Jesus etc) plus Kane .
    I'd like to transfer him out & spend the funds elsewhere but worried by ownership levels

      He is the greatest goal scorer in the world, he can score 2 or 3 goals in a game, the only thing that will prevent him is injuries or only playing 70 minutes which reduces his chance of getting a brace or a hat trick.

        And Foden and others not passing to him when they clearly should.

    I've grown to like Tuchel after first impressions that he was aloof.

    But can't agree that the style of Leeds's play today wasn't the difference.

    Yep, Chelsea could have scored but they didn't and Leeds won convincingly.

      With Kante out and Gallagher misused by Tuchel, once Jorginho went off there was no control in midfield. You know who Chelsea need right now? Casemiro!

    Guys how do you pick captain. Its incredible how bad I am at it. GW1 Kane, GW2 Haaland, GW3 Jesus.

    Two assist and a blank. Pathetic. Didndt have Salah GW1 now I do. Just perma cap him for eternity? I have this issue every season, just one garbage captain pick after the other.

      Best bet is to hold for a few weeks for consistency.

      You're not going to land it each week. That's roulette.

    Team is in tatters, have tried to hold fire up to this point, suggestions welcome. Tried to keep faith with Bowen but think I need to dump him and Neto now
    Ramsdale Ward
    TAA Cancelo James Trippier Williams
    Salah Bowen Neto Dasilva Andreas
    Jesus Haaland Archer

    Considering a -8 of Bowen Neto and Archer out for Diaz Martinelli and Toney. Too extreme, or just wildcard? Other ideas?
