**Newcastle United meet Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday evening with a 5:30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.**
The international break is over, and despite a couple of scares, Eddie Howe has no new injury worries to contend with ahead of the meeting with Pep Guardiola's side.
There are still a few players who are on the verge of a comeback who may or may not be ready to feature.
Dan Burn is one player who definitely won't be in the squad as he serves his one-match ban for picking up two yellow cards against Brentford last time out.
Our predicted lineup for Man City
### Goalkeeper
**Nick Pope** - Pope has recovered from his concussion, so we think Howe will throw him back into the lineup. We'd prefer to see Aaron Ramsdale given Pope's recent form, but we don't think Howe will do it.
### Defenders
**Kieran Trippier** - It's probably too soon for Tino Livramento to make his return from injury, so Tripps will continue at right-back.
**Malick Thiaw** - A couple of substitute appearances for Germany during the break should have done his confidence no harm.
**Sven Botman** - Sven wasn't involved with the Dutch national team, which is criminal, but at least he'll be ready to go.
**Lewis Hall** - It may be a bit sooner than Howe would have liked to throw Hall back in the starting lineup, but Burn's suspension makes it necessary.
### Midfielders
**Bruno Guimaraes (c)** - Bruno didn't have as far to travel on the recent international break, so he should be nice and fresh and up for this big game.
**Sandro Tonali** - An absolutely imperative inclusion when he's fit.
**Joelinton** - Could be replaced by Jacob Ramsey, but Joey's battling nature will be required in such a big game.
### Forwards
**Jacob Murphy** - We still don't feel Anthony Elanga is ready, so Murphy keeps him out of the team again.
**Nick Woltemade** - Three goals in the international break. Big Nick is on fire.
**Anthony Gordon** - Eddie Howe says he's 'touch and go', which is Howe speak for 'I'm going to risk him anyway'.
Harvey Barnes could be in ahead of Gordon if he is truly 50/50, but we are expecting a Gordon start.
It's about a strong a side as Eddie Howe could field on Saturday, the big question is, will it be enough?
