Gvardiol and Palmer start - Man City's predicted XI vs Newcastle United

Manchester City will be looking to cap off an impressive week with a victory over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium.

City have returned to England after their Super Cup triumph in Greece on Wednesday night. Sevilla took the lead in the first half through Youssef En-Nesyri but were pegged back just after the hour mark by Cole Palmer's header.

Nemanja Gudelj missed the decisive penalty in the shootout to secure victory for the Blues and their first-ever Super Cup. Returning to Premier League action, Pep Guardiola will be without the services of John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva while Ruben Dias is a doubt.

With this in mind MEN Sport has taken a look at how City are predicted to line-up Saturday evening.

Goalkeeper - Ederson

Unsurprisingly, Ederson is set to keep his place in the City team. Clearly Guardiola's No.1, the Brazilian has done nothing to detract from his potential selection.

Defenders - Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol

Considering Dias is still a doubt for City, it would seem wise to keep the same back four that won in midweek. Potentially, Guardiola may choose to switch Gvardiol and Ake allowing the former to play in his more natural role for his Premier League debut.

Midfielders - Phil Foden, Rodri, Mateo Kovacic

De Bruyne's long-term injury has put more pressure on Foden this season. City's main creative spark being out of the team leaves the Englishman with the unenviable task of replacing him but it is a challenge he should embrace.

Bernardo's absence should also see Kovacic keep his place with City's ever-present Rodri continuing in a holding role.

Forwards - Cole Palmer,
