Premier League champions Manchester City face Newcastle United in an exciting clash at St James’ Park today.
Pep Guardiola’s side will aim to extend their lead at the top of the table by four points,
ahead of rivals Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, who play later in the day.
However, City will be without influential midfielder Rodri,
who suffered a season-ending knee injury during their 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
Despite this setback, Guardiola’s team remains a dominant force,
while Newcastle has struggled to maintain consistency,
recently losing their unbeaten streak with a 3-1 defeat against Fulham.
