"The League is what you're judged on" 🗣
Andy Morrison is providing commentary of today's match with Alistair Mann over on the Man City app.
He believes our clash with Newcastle should be seen as an opportunity to bounce back from Wednesday's Champions League exit.
"I think it’s a massive bonus that we have a game so quick to put the Real Madrid defeat to bed.
"To win the Premier League is an incredible achievement and it's done over 38 games, that's what you’re judged on.
"To potentially win four titles in five years is phenomenal. We’ve got to be positive.
"Nothing has changed (after Liverpool's draw with Tottenham) - we need to win all of our games.
"Of course the two points dropped changes the dynamic slightly, but we still need to win every game."

Team talk 🗣
The players make their way back down the tunnel following the warm-ups for some final words of wisdom from Pep Guardiola.
A reminder that a win today would move City three points clear at the top of the Premier League table with as many matches left to play.

Given on Newcastle 🗣
Former City and Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given is down at pitchside and has looked ahead to today's game...
"Newcastle have got exciting players in forward positions. They’ll look to be solid and hit on the counter attack.
"Allan Saint-Maximin is a box of tricks. On his day and on his game it’s very difficult to defend against him.
"Joelinton has turned his career around at the club and they’ll cause problems at set-pieces."

This is not a “Given”.

Causing a Ster
De Bruyne attacks the space in front of him before threading a ball through to Sterling.
The winger looks to cut inside Burn, but the defender does just enough to divert the ball back to Dubravka.
City still on top, with Grealish winning a free-kick right on the edge of the Newcastle box...

Newcastle threat
Big chance for the Magpies!
It looked like things were opening up nicely for the visitors just then as they broke down the right, with Joelinton in acres of space inside the area.
Saint-Maximin couldn't find the midfielder, but the ball is recycled and eventually leads to Wood heading towards the goal.
But the forward's header from a promising position is tame, and Ederson can comfortably collect.
