Wholesale changes or minor tweaks? Pick your Newcastle United XI to take on Man City

How will Steve Bruce react to Monday's defeat to Aston Villa?

The Magpies boss has stayed calm after a disappointing display at Villa Park, mindful of the task in hand against champions Manchester City this weekend.

But Bruce will no doubt be pondering changes to his starting XI for the visit of Pep Guardiola's champions.

One change is forced, with DeAndre Yedlin doubtful with a hip problem, meaning Emil Krath and Javier Manquillo come into contention in the right-wing-back slot.

Sean Longstaff is available again after suspension, but should he come straight back into the side, and at whose expense?

Brother Matty is also champing at the bit for a recall, while at the back Fabian Schar could well make a starting return after a bench role at Villa Park.

Up front, options are limited unless Bruce changes formation and tactics, although the misfiring Joelinton and Miguel Almiron are under pressure to produce a match-winning performance.
