Newcastle United and Manchester City will face each other in the Premier League 3^rd round on Sunday afternoon. The hosts aim for the continental qualification this season, while the away side wants to continue with confident displays at the start of the campaign.

Newcastle United Preview & Team News

Newcastle enjoys a successful season start after collecting four points from the opening two rounds. They celebrated a 2:0 win over Nottingham Forest before the goalless draw away to Brighton. The Magpies are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet, but preventing Man City attackers from scoring is easier said than done. Newcastle suits the Citizens, and, taking everything into account, an away win should be considered. Jonjo Shelvey remains on the sidelines with injury, while all Targett, Lewis, and Fernandez are doubtful for the home side. The home side needs an excellent display to get something against the defending champions.

Manchester City Preview & Team News

The Citizens started their title defense with back-to-back wins over West Ham (2-0) and Bournemouth (4-0), and they are eager to keep their 100% record intact. Despite failing to find the net in the crushing of the Cherries, big-money signing Erling Haaland will be the man to watch on the away side. Pep Guardiola has a full squad to choose from except for Kalvin Phillps and Aymeric Laporte. Kevin De Bruyne is in great shape. Last season he scored 15 goals in 30 games, and he leaves football fans breathless with incredible speed. The opposing defenders have none a solution to stop the Belgium international.
