    With Kane no longer at Spurs, City have the two best strikers in the league. Simply unstoppable.

    You wouldn’t know Newcastle have had a week off and City played on Wednesday. Newcastle have been poor especially £40m Anthony Gordon. Barnes to come on ASAP.

    We've choked here massively. Had a game plan and looked organised until that Alvarez stunner and now we look scared and outmuscled going forwards. Finished fourth last season but still a way off the big boys yet.

  5. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    City have won their last seven Premier League home games when leading at half-time, since a 1-1 draw with Everton in December last year.

    Gooner Thoughts: Foden is picking up some lovely spaces drifting in from the right hand side and using his trademark half-turn. Surely there must be a way to get Foden & Saka in the same side for England - both supreme players. The inter-play and movement could be unplayable.

  8. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Almost a big chance for Newcastle but Anthony Gordon can't properly control a cross from the right. He was only about six yards out.

    Akanji and Walker are being encouraged to take part in the game in parts of the pitch they wouldn't normally.

  10. INJURY TIME

    Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Three minutes added on.

  11. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle hack the corner away. Alexander Isak tries to counter but Phil Foden stops him very well indeed.

  12. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Jack Grealish wins a corner off Kieran Trippier.

  13. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Pep Guardiola is sitting on a sports drink cooler. Not that brand... or that one. You know the other one.

    What a pass from Ederson! Ridiculous.

  15. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle United have not had a shot on target yet.

  16. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Erling Haaland's first proper chance of the night. More lovely build-up play by Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden, who are both playing really well. Foden finds Haaland, who drags a shot just wide from about 14 yards.

  17. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Kyle Walker's position, high on the right, allows Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden to play centrally, in a number 10 role.

    Mark 20:29, if you're bored watching City, football isn't for you my friend. Try badminton.

    Nicholas Walker: I feel you need two players on every Man City player just to survive.

  20. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Jack Grealish beats England colleague Kieran Trippier on the left/right but then has his shot blocked as he cuts in.
