González returns! Man City and Newcastle name starting XIs | OneFootball

The starting line-ups are in from the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City welcome Newcastle in Premier League action.

Injuries to Manuel Akanji and Jack Grealish have ruled both players out of action as Nico González is back in the starting line-up following his knock at Leyton Orient.

Sven Botman, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes are all absent for the visitors, although Anthony Gordon XXX after missing the FA Cup win at Birmingham last weekend.

Manchester City: Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Stones, Gvardiol; González, Gündogan; Foden, Marmoush, Savinho; Haaland.

Newcastle: Dúbravka; Trippier, Schär, Burn, Hall; Guimãraes, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

The Magpies are aiming for a first away win against the Cityzens since 2000.
