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

Had an absolutely awful first three weeks, my rank is about 77 million and I'm tempted to wildcard.

But my team has these fixtures next week, do I keep the faith or wildcard anyway?

Sanchez vs Leeds (H)

Trent vs Bournemouth (H)
Robertson vs Bournemouth (H)
James vs Leicester (H)
Cucurella vs Leicester (H)
Dias vs Palace (H)

Salah vs Bournemouth (H)
Saka vs Fulham (H)
Martinelli vs Fulham (H)
Mount vs Leicester (H)

Haaland vs Palace (H)

  I was the same mate but hit the WC button, wanted to catch some price rises, miss some falls and try and kick start my season. I usually do it early any way.

  You don't need to make enough changes to justify WC.
  Just lose Mount and/or Saka. You can do direct swaps for some in-form options at similar prices.

If you owned a midfield of Mount, Salah, Aaronson & Jensen.

Who would you swap mount for? Rodrigo the obvious or would you go for Martinelli?
