Fresh from lifting their second European trophy in a matter of months, Manchester City return to Premier League action with the visit of Newcastle United to the Etihad on Saturday night.
The Citizens defeated Sevilla on penalties to clinch the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening, prevailing 5-4 in the shootout following a 1-1 draw in Piraeus.
Pep Guardiola's side also made the perfect start to their Premier League title defence last Friday, easing past Vincent Kompany's Burnley 3-0, although Newcastle marched to a more emphatic 5-1 success over Aston Villa.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Magpies.
