According to a TEAMtalk source, citing journalist Ben Jacobs, Manchester United are considering the transfer of two Newcastle players – Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.

Nico O'Reilly's brace has Manchester City ahead of familiar foes Newcastle United, but both sides will hope to prevail in the second half at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

This is the fourth meeting between these two clubs already this season, with another to come soon in the FA Cup fifth round - I bet they are sick of each other already. Newcastle have a long trip back from Azerbaijan to contend with before this game but at least they have put their Champions League tie with Qarabag to bed already and can focus fully on City rather than next week's second leg.

Newcastle United are without Sven Botman once again as they prepare to face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The Magpies have travelled to the match on the back of a 6-1 Champions League win against Qarabag in Azerbaijan on Wednesday evening.
