Manchester City have not registered a Premier League victory for three weeks and will be looking to end that run when Newcastle arrive at the Etihad Stadium. Steve McClaren’s side will be boosted by their 2-2 draw with Chelsea last time out at St James’ Park. But the way the Magpies sacrificed a 2-0 lead will have been noted, the Sky Blues will hope to prey on this fragility. Jamie Jackson
