Newcastle's Eddie Howe says visit of City to be relished not feared
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has lost all 10 of his previous meeting with Pep Guardiola including two heavy defeats last season, but believes his side must relish the challenge of facing Manchester City on Sunday. Newcastle have begun the season in solid fashion, with four points from their opening two games, but Howe says a clash with City will be the real barometer of his team's progress. Howe saw his side beaten 5-0 away and 4-0 at home by Guardiola's City last season -- results he said looked worse on paper than they were in reality.
