Minute-by-minute report: Can the Magpies keep their hopes of silverware alive by knocking out the holders? Join Tom Davies
Carson, Stones, Ake, Grealish, Alvarez, Gomez, Nunes, Bobb, LewisDubravaka, Murphy, Schar, Lascelles, Botman, Burn, Bruno, Longstaff, Willock, Gordon, Isak.fit to start, which will be a much-needed boost for Newcastle. He’s been excellent lately., but let’s hope it rises to the challenge as Manchester City’s double-treble hunters take on a Newcastle side battling uneven recent form and a historically atrocious FA Cup record.
This is, however, Newcastle’s biggest match of the season and they and their fans should be bang up for this. “We’ll have a right go,” roared Eddie Howe in yesterday’s presser though he is again hampered by injury worries, most recently to the new England call-up Anthony Gordon, who is a doubt for today. And Howe himself is under pressure as his side struggle to rediscover the intensity and identity they showed last season.
City, for their part, will be without Kevin de Bruyne while Ederson is ruled out after injuring himself amid the bedlam of last Sunday’s rollicking draw at Liverpool . And City haven’t lost an FA Cup tie away from Wembley for six years, when they lost at Wigan’s DW Stadium. So yeah, Pep Guardiola’s side are sizeable favourites, but it’s the Cup, right, and as we’ve seen a little more than usual this season, upsets and magic can still happen. Don’t go anywhere.
