Visitors hitting top gear
Manchester City had a poor first half of the season by their high standards but none of the teams in the title race managed to pull away sufficiently and Pep Guardiola’s side look set for their customary second half of the campaign title charge.

With their talisman returning it may be difficult to stop the Citizens, particularly considering Newcastle’s injury issues.
The Magpies have been battling fitness issues all season and Joelinton is the latest starter to be sidelined after picking up an injury against Sunderland.
Despite their busy treatment room, the home team are fancied to get on the scoresheet.
Both teams have found the net in seven of City’s last nine league games and Newcastle can get in on the action, albeit in defeat.
