Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture with Newcastle United.

Manchester City return to Premier League action at the weekend with a trip to the north-east to face Newcastle United.

While Pep Guardiola's side remain nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool, City would taken confidence from overturning an early deficit to defeat Chelsea.

However, the Spaniard will want to see his team produce an improved performance after only registering a 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's clash at St James' Park.
