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

  2. The Red Devil

    Can't wait to get rid off Walker on WC

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why, ge has been as good as everyone else in that defense

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That’s a weird call. City still one of the best defences in the league.

  3. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Walker tried mounting ASM

    1. King Carlos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Brokeback Mount(ain)

  4. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    People saying Walker is bad, I think Rodri is equally worse this game

  5. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    There won't be many bragging about their scores at the end of today's matches.
    Need Salah or Trent to deliver

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah and Robbo*

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      38 all out. Respectable, ain't it?

      1. Riverside Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Crackerjack for this week

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Similar to last week, and Liverpool disappointed on Monday night

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      (S)alah Trent & Robbo

  6. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Toney looks better than Haaland !!!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Toney is the real deal

  7. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Walker has had a shocking game.

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This should have been Oles year!

  9. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The idea of a "top 4" and "mid table team" really had been turned on its head. Teams like Newcastle, Leeds and Brighton deserve our attention and teams like Chelsea and United don't.

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Are you saying that midtable is the new top 4 and vice versa?

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's August

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I remember when Carlisle topped the league after 3 games.

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Turned on its head -- what's changed? Newcastle is a top 6 team this year and United lower mid table. Chelsea will come good. Leeds and Brighton are surprises, really!

  10. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Walker to Persic is tempting?

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Waker*

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Steering clear of Perisic myself for now. Doesn't seem an obvious enough transfer this for me

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Out of the pan and into the fire?

  11. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Haaland wastes Dias assist.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pope made a save

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Clear touch.

    Don't forget that as stated by our FFS genius tomorrow is still to come

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years

  19. Free Hat
