1hr 20 mins from kickoff: Of course, the big question is what state Guardiola's players will be in when they take to the field. 1hr 30 mins from kickoff: Hello and welcome to Sporting News' live coverage of Manchester City's Premier League home match against Newcastle. We've been saying this every Saturday and Sunday for what seems like forever now, but this really could be a pivotal day in the title race. 15th minute: Plenty of people think City's occasional weakness in front of goal will be solved by the arrival of a big-name striker, but that's another glorious chance to fall to another member of the back four. 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.
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.
Man City are on the cusp of back-to-back Premier League titles, yet their 2021-22 could be remembered just for spoiling Liverpool's quadruple quest.
"Hopefully we can arrive at the Aston Villa game on the final day of the season with the destiny of the Premier League in our hands. We have to do it." "With what this team have done, do you have any doubt?" "We are going to try to win there. "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the City manager said.

The Manchester City manager has claimed he doesn't care that more supporters back Liverpool in the title race, while Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones ...
“What happened with Liverpool and today makes Wednesday an absolute final, final for us,” Guardiola said. “With what this team has done, do you have any doubt?” “Rúben, Kyle and John are out for the season,” Guardiola said. Maybe they have more supporters all around the world and in England maybe more support Liverpool than us. We have the academy. Manchester City will be without Rúben Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones as they seek to retain the title in the final three matches of the season.

He lives in the area, it would be an incredible move, a brave move, but I'd love to see that in the Premier League. I think it makes sense all round." He said: "It's a massive problem for me if it depends on the manager whether a player works hard. Richards added: "If he came to Man City, he would work hard. "There was talk a few years ago that he might go for him. He said: "It would be an incredible move and one that if I'm honest I haven't seen coming. Would Man City be wise to sign Paul Pogba on a free?
City can afford to drop points and still be in the driving seat to win the Premier League title this season.
On Tuesday Liverpool travel to Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa, who have nothing but league position to fight for. The Reds should brush aside all three remaining league opponents. But they also need to avoid dropping points themselves. The Premier League leaders are unlikely to dominate either game but will be clear favourites heading into them to claim three points. It could still go down to the wire. But Liverpool must also do their bit to maintain the pressure over the coming fortnight.
Manchester City's thumping victory over Newcastle United was the perfect response to their agonising Champions League exit and has put them in the driving ...

City also edged four goals ahead of the Reds on goal difference. . Read more at straitstimes.com.
The City fans were able to bask in cries of “championees” for the final quarter and two more goals in stoppage time gave them the insurance of a goal difference cushion even if they are to drop points in the next fortnight. Guardiola freshened his side up with four changes to the side that started in the Bernabeu with Bernardo Silva, Foden and Riyad Mahrez were left on the bench. “It was a perfect afternoon. Guardiola was quick to point out that what happened in Madrid is a lesson that there is still a long way to go in the final three games. The Spanish giants came from two goals down in the dying stages to win a classic semi-final 6-5 on aggregate and set up a meeting with Liverpool in Paris. The title is the only trophy left for City to fight for after blowing the chance to reach a second consecutive Champions League final, against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
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.

Newcastle welcome Arsenal to St James' Park for Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports, as the Gunners fight for Champions League qualification; kick-off at 8pm. 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.

Manchester City are hosting Newcastle at the Etihad after having a great night of sleep. That's because of Liverpool's slippage against Tottenham on late ...
The last time the lads defeated Manchester City was back in Jan. 2019 when they dumped a couple on Guardiola’s side while only getting scored on one time themselves. Newcastle enters Sunday pretty much in the same vein they did last Saturday against Liverpool. There is nothing to lose today and they learned something against the Reds a week ago: get rich or die trying. This is clearly Manchester City’s toughest game of their remaining ones even though they will have some room for error after Liverpool's draw against Tottenham yesterday. City missed on winning a Premier League game for the last time on Feb. 19 when they fell 2-3 to Tottenham of all teams. The Citizens are playing for nothing more than the Premier League this season after getting eliminated by Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-finals and by Real Madrid last Wednesday in the UCL semi-finals stage too. That’s because of Liverpool's slippage against Tottenham on late Saturday, as the Reds couldn’t get more than one point from their home game against the Spurs. City is the obvious favorite to get the win here, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’d have lost points against a lesser side.
Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are out for the season at Manchester City. And Pep Guardiola's defensive problems do not end there.
It was therefore perhaps a touch surprising to see Egan-Riley preferred to the elegant and powerful 18-year-old. Mbete was also on the bench at the weekend and has been a fixture in first-team squads over the past 18 months. Guardiola broke into something of a giggle when asked how important Fernandinho will be over the remainder of the season. The pressure at Molineux and London Stadium will certainly be a few degrees higher. Alongside Laporte, full-backs Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko make up the trio of fit senior defenders Guardiola has at his disposal. “We have 13 [outfield] players and a half available for these three games, plus the academy.
