What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via ESPN FC): "I think that [Wilfried] Bony will be an important player for us. He will be in the squad list. We will see if he will be in the starting 11 or have some minutes [on the pitch] after that, but he works with our team the whole week without any problems."
Newcastle United managing director Lee Charnley (via Metro): "We want to send out a message of support to John [Carver], the staff and the team for the 13 games remaining."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: After a successful 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Yaya Toure will look to return to club form for Manchester City. In 18 league appearances, the 31-year-old has seven goals and an average of 1.1 key passes.
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, Mangala, Kompany, Sagna; Fernandinho, Toure; Nasri, Silva, Navas; Aguero
Newcastle's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Krul; Haldara, Coloccini, Williamson, Janmaat; Sissoko, Colback; Ameobi, Perez, Gouffran; Cisse
