Newcastle vs Man City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: St James' Park
Date: Tuesday, January 29, 2019
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
Rafa Benitez will have to live up to his reputation as a tactical mastermind if Newcastle United are going to prevent Manchester City from leaving St James' Park with three points on Tuesday night.
Since being beaten at Leicester on Boxing Day, Pep Guardiola's City have won all eight games and scored 33 goals in the process to maintain their title chase of Liverpool.
City brushed aside Burnley in the FA Cup with a 5-0 home win to advance to the fifth round, and Newcastle - knocked out at home by Watford - face a tall order against the champions.
Newcastle vs Man City line-ups
Newcastle: Dubravka, Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie, Perez, Hayden, Longstaff, Atsu, Rondon
Subs: Clark, Murphy, Kenedy, Fernandez, Manquillo, Roberts, Woodman
Man City: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Danilo, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Subs: Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Otamendi, Gabriel Jesus, Foden, Muric
Referee: Paul Tierney (Lancashire)
Score prediction: Newcastle 0-3 Man City
Newcastle impressed in their last League game - a 3-0 home win over Cardiff - but Man City should prove too much for the Magpies.
Guardiola was able to rest the likes of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane this weekend, and the forwards will be raring to go against a Newcastle side who have scored just 19 goals this term.
