Manchester City are back in Premier League action this weekend and a tough test awaits them as they visit Newcastle United on Saturday teatime. The Blues have started to hit their form just as many of their title rivals have slipped off the pace. When he does come back to the starting XI, De Bruyne will likely line-up in a double-pronged central midfield role with Foden who has been a standout performer recently. Matheus Nunes could also be given a start but Kovacic is more likely to partner the undroppable Rodri. Meanwhile, Doku showed no ill effects on his cameo against Huddersfield and could be in line for a start this weekend.
