Manchester City vs Newcastle United: Predicted City starting eleven and latest City injury news | OneFootball

Manchester City take Newcastle United tonight at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie. City hold a 2-nil aggregate lead after their impressive performance at St. James’ Park in the first leg of the tie. Pep Guardiola’s side will be eager to book their place in the Carabao Cup final tonight, where Arsenal await the winner of tonight’s semi-final tie.

Here is the latest Manchester City injury and team news and my predicted City starting eleven ahead of tonight’s massive match.

Latest Manchester City injury news.

Manchester City enter tonight’s match with several players unavailable due to injury. Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku and Savinho are all ruled out of tonight’s match due to injury. Ruben Dias has returned to training this week, but he may not be ready to start tonight’s match after a long injury layoff.

Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday that Rayan Cherki’s fitness is being monitored ahead of tonight’s match. The French international picked up a knock after a heavy challenge from Cristian Romero during the first half of Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham last Sunday.

Marc Guehi is ineligible to play in tonight’s match. If City progress to the Carabao Cup final tonight, Guehi will also be ineligible to play in the final. City signed Guehi before their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, but he wasn’t registered by City in time to feature in the remainder of Manchester City’s Carabao Cup campaign.
