Manchester City XI vs Newcastle: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League

Pep Guardiola hopes to have John Stones back for Manchester City’s Premier League clash with Newcastle on Sunday.

The England centre-back was unavailable for the midweek Champions League defeat at Real Madrid, creating a defensive issue that only deepened when Kyle Walker was forced off with an ankle injury.

Both players are major doubts for the visit of the Magpies in the Sunday evening kick-off.

With only the Premier League title left to fight for, Guardiola can at least put all his energy into defending this crown, as opposed to Liverpool who must focus at least partially on their upcoming FA Cup and Champions League finals.
