Manchester City can’t afford to let many more points slip away in the title race, and next up is the visit of Champions League-chasing Newcastle.
Pep Guardiola’s men beat league leaders Arsenal last month to move top of the standings but have since slid back into second, five points behind the Gunners.
City are unbeaten in six games and come into this one on the back of comfortable victories over Bournemouth in the league (4-1) and Bristol City in the FA Cup (3-0).
Newcastle, meanwhile, are a wounded animal as they travel south on the back of a League Cup final defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
It was a painful moment for Magpies fans as their chances of winning a first trophy in 68 years evaporated, but there is still much to play for domestically for Eddie Howe’s side.
They are fifth, four points outside the Champions League spots but with two games in hand over fourth-placed Tottenham.
Howe’s men need to turn around their form after four matches without a win in all competitions.
Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
