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

    Foden an awful fantasy pick and not a great one in real terms either. Imagine the ego on him if he was anywhere near the hype.

    It is hard to stomach. We as Haaland owners have done everything right, but Foden is massively influencing our FPL season in a bad way.
    Haaland would have easily scored 6 goals by now without this dwarf.

      I mean it’s not his priority to assist Haaland as much as possible so that everyone can perma-cap him, is it? He’s just doing what he thinks he needs to do for City to win the game.

        But it is. That's why Pep took him off at half time last week. I could see quite a few occasions where the support band were trying too hard when they were trying to lob passes to Haaland when it wasn't the best option.

        You're right. He should just do what would be best for the team.
        For City it would have been a sure win today if he had served the better-positioned Haaland.

      “We as Haaland owners” is almost 2/3 of the game to be fair.

      Haaland looked good today, could have had a hatty even with foden.

      I'd keep James. Mount is the one who needs to be ejected forthwith.
