| Squad sheets: Manchester City v Newcastle United Manchester City have conceded only two goals in their opening six Premier League games and anything but a home victory would represent a surprise here even if Newcastle can be encouraged by the fact they won their last away game at Everton. Newcastle have not beaten City on their own ground since Alan Shearer scored the winner in a 1-0 victory at Maine Road in September 2000 and, if they are to end that run, they may have to monitor Carlos Tevez closely – the Argentinian has scored four of his side's seven league goals so far.
