For Newcastle camp, no be all dem players dey gidigba. Manager Eddie Howe dey enter dis match without some defenders like Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles.

Na him go start for di right wing, while Anthony Gordon go dey di opposite side for di attack. However, Alexander Isak dey doubt as im get small toe fracture.
Manchester City dey come but no be same City wey we dey see last season. Rodri don jo, im get injury and e go miss beta part of di season.
