Manchester City vs Newcastle - LIVE: Latest score, goals and updates plus how to watch online, prediction, head-to-head, team news, line-ups, odds
Rafa Benitez will most likely put his entire team behind the ball and look to stop Manchester City for as long as possible in hope of a fortuitous goal or clean sheet for Newcastle.
He did this last season and last week against Chelsea, where he was criticised for his negative style of play after Wolves drew with City after a bold attacking performance.
“Last season he did it against us away and at home,” said Pep Guardiola on Benitez’s tactics. “Everything he is going to do is because he believes it’s the best for them to get points.”

It's sure to be another fiery afternoon with lots of goals and action and I'll be taking you through them all.
City win once again and move onto 10 points but it was not as comfortable as it normally is for the Citizens.
The better players shone through though and goals from Sterling and Walker give City the three points.
Newcastle scored a good goal of their own from Deandre Yedlin but it wasn't enough to get a point.
A more than respectable result for the Toon Army but it is still only one point from four matches even though they'll think they should have accumulated a few more.
They've now played against Spurs, Chelsea and City and not lost by more than one against any of them.
Sergio Aguero misses a great chance to wrap up the victory.
Fernandinho slots a wonderful ball through the middle of the Newcastle defence and the Argentine runs on to it and tries to round the keeper but Dubravka makes it hard for him and gets the ball of him.
It still falls to Aguero once again who tries to dink the keeper off his line but he gets his angles all wrong and chips it well and truly wide of the goal.
More magic from David Silva playing one touch football with the rest of the City front line sees the ball fall to the feet of Sterling who's shot goes wide of the post.
Mahrez swings in a great ball into the far post where David Silva is lurking. His header back across goal just doesn't have enough on it and it bounces wide of the goal and into safety.
City play some marvellous football and Bernardo switches a fantastic ball to Aguero who repays the favour with a fantastic dink to Fernandinho who is well stopped by Dubravka.
David Silva follows it up and is denied not once but twice and City get the ball back once again.
