Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday hoping to put the pressure on leaders Arsenal. The Blues face Newcastle United in the early kick-off hoping to close the gap to two points ahead of the Gunners' match with Bournemouth at 3pm.

City are fully aware of the threat the Magpies pose though and they will be wanting to prove a point after losing the Carabao Cup final last weekend.

Meanwhile, City are set to have a full squad to choose from after Pep Guardiola confirmed that John Stones, Stefan Ortega and Aymeric Laporte had all overcome their injuries and illnesses.

With that in mind, the MEN Sport readers have picked their ideal starting line-up to face Eddie Howe's side this lunchtime. ALSO READ: City vs Newcastle live updates City's number one was unexpectedly called into action on Tuesday night following Ortega's injury.
