The champions looking to get out of the blocks quickly. It's party time up in the north east, with relegation fears long gone and a bright future in prospect under Eddie Howe. — 2nd minute: Nervous moments there for the hosts as Laporte mistakenly boots the ball at Gundogan, who then loses his footing to be disposessed on halfway. — Sterling plays in his teammate to draw a sharp save from Dubravka at his near post. — — Ederson then nearly made a complete hash of the resulting free-kick.

Manchester City host Newcastle in the Premier League, looking to bounce back from defeat to Real Madrid and react to Liverpool's draw with Tottenham.

"We show the personality we have after the defeat. Dan Burn gets a booking for bringing down Aymeric Laporte, but the ball wasn't in play so no penalty. Guardiola clearly taking nothing to chance despite the scoreline. The spirit is still there from the Newcastle fans but their players look like they would be quite happy for this match to end now. Three points upfront, nine points to play, 4 goals ahead on goal difference Another final Wednesday, another team we suffer a lot in the last years since Nuno took over and now Bruno." They've now scored more than Liverpool and have a better goal difference. We bounced back perfectly, stuck together as a team in the last few days which was needed. On the pitch, though, City gave themselves a huge boost with a big win that gave them a three point lead and four-goal advantage in goal difference over Liverpool. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring, before Aymeric Laporte poked home. "We knew it would be pressure on us today, especially after what happened in midweek. They have a chance at 3-0, after we score two goals. One of the best groups ever I train in my life." Walker limped off in Madrid and had an ice pack around his ankle, while Stones travelled but wasn't fit enough to make the squad.

It was close to perfect as Manchester City looked no worse for the wear in search of an eighth top-flight title following a shocking Champions League exit.

A win or point against City would’ve sent another loud signal to the league post-takeover. City improves to 86 points, three more than second-place Liverpool. The reigning Premier League champions now hold a goal differential lead of four with three matches left for both teams. Rodri added a goal at the hour mark and Phil Foden in the 90th minute City as out-attempted Newcastle 21-7.

First-half goals from Raheem Sterling and Aymeric Laporte put the Blues firmly in command against lively opposition. Rodrigo bagged the third on the hour, ...

"We are going to try and do it. Goals from Raheem Sterling (2), Aymeric Laporte, Rodrigo and Phil Foden inspired City back to the top of the Premier League table. (It was a) perfect afternoon. - City have scored five or more goals in the Premier League for the 30th time underPep Guardiola– more than Liverpool (14) and Spurs (13). - City became the only team in Europe’s big five leagues to have four or more different players reach 10 assists in all competitions this season with Joao Cancelo (10) joining Kevinde Bruyne(13), Phil Foden(11) and Jesus (11). "Three more points. - The reigning champions have scored 20 Premier League goals from set-pieces this season (excluding penalties), the most of any side. "I am very pleased. - City have lost just one of the past 29 league games against Newcastle (W24, D4). Rodrigo was on target and there were two goals in added time - but this time it was our Rodrigo and City scored the goals! That wasn’t the end of the end of the scoring, with the excellent Oleks Zinchenko laying on a fourth for Phil Foden to sweep home in the final minute to leave the Etihad jubilant. The bottom line is that the Blues need seven points from three games to guarantee a fourth Premier League title in five years.

City began the day one goal worse off than Liverpool and level on points, but now hold the advantage with three games each remaining.

Maybe they have more supporters all around the world and in England maybe more support Liverpool than us.” And it took just 15 minutes for De Bruyne, so ineffective in Madrid in midweek, to set up a City third with his perfect corner delivery behind headed in by Rodri from the corner of the six-yard box. Substitutes (not used): Dummett, Schar, Ritchie, Manquillo, Darlow, Gayle. With City and Liverpool perilously close in the goal difference, as well as points, column, Guardiola would have wanted his side to build on the lead in the second half. “But we are, for the last 10, 11, 12 years, coming there. Substitutes (not used): Ake, Steffen, Silva, Mahrez, Mbete, Palmer.

We had the first big chance of the game, unfortunately we did not take it." "Just before the start of game, I felt the crowd were disappointed but not grumpy and upset about who we are as a team. Guardiola confirmed after the game that Dias will miss the rest of the season through injury, with Kyle Walker and John Stones also unavailable for the remaining matches. When you consider all the ways they can score that is a no-no. That knowledge that City were no longer in a win or bust scenario took a little of the sting out of the fixture and gave them some freedom. If Rodri has to play [at centre-back he will]. We have the academy. Asked how important the veteran Brazilian will be, Guardiola said: "I would say a lot." We are going to try to win the game, playing our best, that is for sure." Asked on Friday afternoon, what response he expected from his players, Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports, "I think we are going to perform well. On reflection, Wood's headed chance after eight minutes was a key moment in the game. It was all that they needed.

Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Anfield on Saturday means a win for Pep Guardiola's men will put them three points clear with three games to play.

Sterling plays in his teammate to draw a sharp save from Dubravka at his near post. Ederson then nearly made a complete hash of the resulting free-kick. Guardiola flaps his arms in a sort of Big Bird impression. Dias lumps a ball in Sterling's general direction and Newcastle come away with it. Anyway, despite those desperate odds, he City midfielder gamely keeps up with the flying winger, who runs out of pitch and falls over.

Pep Guardiola's side are looking to bounce back from the crushing Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid midweek.

Newcastle United have taken only two points here in 16 previous visits, but can they throw a spanner in the works today? Dubravka never troubled in the visitors’ goal. Allan-Saint Maximin breaks free on the right-hand side after a swift counter-attack but his ball across towards Miguel Almiron is blocked. Bruno Guimaraes is looking to break forward whenever he picks up the ball in a central area. The moment we win the Champions League it will be because of the money we spend. Pep Guardiola’s side were left devastated after Real Madrid’s shocking late comeback at the Bernabeu to eliminate them from the Champions League in the semi-finals midweek, but the Cityzens have been gifted a boost by rivals Liverpool, who slipped up at home to Tottenham, droping two precious points in the 1-1 draw to hand them the initiative in the title race.

Manchester City's march to the Premier League title is taking shape, and they may just have one hand on the trophy. Capitalizing on Liverpool dropping ...

City have struggled at times if the game drags on but they can't get good shots off in the box and will push more and more players upfield leaving space on the counter for Howe's side to exploit. Zinchenko loves getting forward but will need to be stout in his defensive responsibilities as well keeping a watchful eye on Saint-Maximin and Almiron during the day. Eddie Howe gets some long term absentees back to the bench as Callum Wilson and Keiran Trippier return to fitness. But while he had an assist on the day, it was his interplay with Foden that was most impressive as Grealish trusted his teammates and kept moving without the ball. City have been dominant as Rodri scores their third goal of the match. They get an early goal and their stars show up in front of their home fans. It's quite a significant bit of news, losing potentially two starters in Dias and Walker, and Stones has also played significant minutes as of late. Newcastle, finishing with an xG of 0.83, had one chance early via a Chris Wood header following a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin, but he was unable to put the free header on target. When one team draws in a tough match, there's no quicker way to shift momentum than going out and scoring five goals in a match the next day. Guardiola announced after the match that Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are all out injured for the remainder of the season. With three games remaining both City and Liverpool will play Aston Villa and Wolves so this was important as West Ham should be a tougher match for City than Southampton are for Liverpool. Both will be favorites the rest of the way, but the Reds are going to need City to pull a shocker to have any real shot. Capitalizing on Liverpool dropping points at home to Tottenham on Saturday, City took care of surging Newcastle on Sunday with a 5-0 win.
