🚨 Still no Foden! Man City and Newcastle name the starting eleven for the PL duel

Manchester City have named their starting XI for the trip to St James' Park as they look to start life without Rodri.

The reigning Premier League champions will be without the Spaniard for the rest of the season with a knee injury, leaving Mateo Kovačić tasked with taking his place in midfield.

Rico Lewis is also set to return to the starting eleven after the youngster was left out of the draw against Arsenal. However, despite Kevin de Bruyne's absence, Phil Foden remains on the substitutes' bench.

Meanwhile, Alexander Isak failed his late fitness test for Eddie Howe, meaning Anthony Gordon is likely to play through the middle while Kieran Trippier is preferred at right-back over Tino Livramento.
