Ilkay Gundogan gave Manchester City an early lead at Newcastle before Eddie Howe’s men produced a phenomenal response.

As he did in last weekend’s 4-0 win over Bournemouth, Germany midfielder Gundogan was on hand to ghost into the opposition penalty area and find a smart finish.

It was the first goal Newcastle have conceded in the Premier League this term, but they were 2-1 up before half-time thanks to Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson.

Allan Saint-Maximin was rampant throughout the opening period and supplied assists for both Newcastle goals.

Newcastle vs. Man City live updates, highlights from the Premier League clash at St James’ Park

54th minute: GOAL!!!!!! Trippier!!!!

It’s a majestic strike and Newcastle are in dreamland. Ederson shifts slightly to his left but that’s straight into the top-left corner.

53rd minute: Stones is booked and it’s a wonder it’s taken this long. He’s got no idea how to handle Saint-Maximin here and Trippier has a free-kick he very much likes the look of…

52nd minute: Haaland hits the post! City’s number nine darts inside past a couple of challenges and shoots right-footed. A look at the replay suggests Pope got a vital touch. That’s an incredible save.

50th minute: City are absolutely rattled, with none of their usual composure playing out. Silva arrows a dangerous pass across his own half and Rodri has to retrieve the situation. The on-rushing Guimaraes gets a whack for his troubles.

48th minute: It’s the sort of quality delivery we’ve come to expect from Kieran Trippier and Rodri does very well to first win the header and then hoof clear.

47th minute: Rodri leaves Walker short with a pass and he clumsily leaves Saint-Maximin on the deck to give Newcastle a free-kick in a promising position. Guardiola’s gambit of bringing his full-backs inside has worked to well in City’s opening two games but Newcastle appear to have cracked that particular code and keep leaving their opponents out of shape in defence.

46th minute: Everyone got their breath back? Jolly good, away we go again!

Halftime: Ooh, City should maybe equalise with the last action of the half as Dias rises to meet De Bruyne’s free-kick from the right but can’t keep his header down. Guardiola will rue the chances City let slip after going 1-0 up. After riding out the early storm, Newcastle were absolutely magnificent and are good value for their half-time lead.

45th minute+1: Walker, who’s really had an awful half, tries to win a goal kick off Joelinton but succeeds only in booting it out for a corner. Ederson takes some of his frustration towards that spectacle out by punching the left-wing cross clear.

43rd minute: City looking for an equaliser an Rodri likes to shoot from range, but that daisy cutter is a simple proposition for Pope.

39th minute: GOOOALLLLL!!!! Wilson!!!!!

Brilliant form Newcastle and that man Saint-Maximin again. The winger drove in field aggressively and found Wilson, who took a lovely touch around Dias and finished coolly. 

38th minute: Ederson klaxon!!!! Where’s he going? Almiron rounds the City keeper, who’s about 35 yards from his own goal. Cancelo tears back to block.

37th minute: Great recovery from Bottman, who makes a hash of clearing Foden’s cross but leaps up to block Gundogan’s shot. I’m sure Pope, Bottman and the rest would appreciate someone tracking Gundogan’s runs, just for a laugh, at some point.

35th minute: Not great from De Bruyne and Pope punches clear. City have the ball at the back and Guardiola’s men could do with one of their customary spells of possession. Newcastle have not let them breathe for the past 15 minutes or so.

34th minute: Schar with a classic of the genre when it comes to “taking your yellow”. Foden was darting in behind and he clattered through the wide attacker. This is once again a good position for De Bruyne.

GOAL!!!! Almiron!!!

Yep, He was onside, crucially without Willock getting a touch as he also attacked Saint-Maximin’s cross. If he’d touched it towards Almiron he’d have been offside. He wasn’t and it meant Kyle Walker was playing him onside. City were a mess at the back there, with Cancelo culpable. But they’ve been a mess for the past 10 minutes in truth.

28th minute: The ball is in the City net but Almiron has been given offside. We’re looking gat the replay and this might be a goal…

27th minute: Ohh, Wilson will be kicking himself. Botman rose to meet Trippier’s delivery and knocked it down towards the striker, who was already falling backwards and he couldn’t convert.

26th minute: Another Newcastle chance and it stems form Walker, who’s been uncharacteristically not at the races so far, giving the ball away and Joelinton breaking from midfield. Wilson’s shot is deflected behind. Saint-Maximin picks up the second ball and hoicks it to the back post. Another corner.

24th minute: Newcastle really on top now. Saint-Maximin gets on his bike and motors around Stones. Ederson saves well and the rebound won’t fall for Almiron.

22nd minute: Dias is straight into the action, heading an Almiron cross clear at the near post. He and Stones were superb playing together during City’s 2020/21 title win, but the lack of Ake does leave the defence a little imbalanced. Fellow left-footer Aymeric Laporte is also sidelined and Joao Cancelo, a right-back by trade, is City’s left back.

20th minute: De Bruyne whips it over the wall and Pope saves impressively away to his right. Then Newcastle break and Wilson just about can’t capitalise. There’ll be a change in the City back four with Ake hobbling off and Ruben Dias entering the fray.

19th minute: There’s a frantic feel to this and City win the ball back in Newcastle territory again. Haaland wins a free-kcik on the edge of the box from Botman. De Brunye likes the look of this…

18th minute: Oh, Newcastle should be level, Saint-Maximin pulls back and Almiron has space. He gets it all wrong though, leaning back and blazing over. Good moments for Howe’s men though and Cancelo was booked for a foul on Almiron earlier in that move.

16th minute: Foden prompted grumbling from Guardiola last weekend when he failed to pull back to Haaland in favour of taking on a shot. He’s in for another thick ear after De Bruyne released the England man to fire at Pope’s feet with Haaland lurking on the penalty spot. Guardiola cut a disgruntled figure on the touchline.

14th minute: Encouragement for Newcastle as Willock charges clear of Kyle Walker. You don’t see that every day. His pass is too late though and Wilson is caught offside.

13th minute: One for the locals to enjoy as Gundogan tries to find Haaland and the superstar striker misses his kick.

10th minute: That should probably be 2-0. Haaland produces some muscular hold-up play and threads a pass through for De Bruyne. Newcastle are grateful for the role reversal as the Belgium playmaker shoots at Pope’s legs. City look rampant here.

8th minute: Newcastle need to have a breath here. Guimaraes clumps into De Bruyne on halfway and that’s a needlessly cheap booking.

5th minute: GOOOAALLLLL!!!! Gundogan!!!!

That innate sense of knowing where pockets of space will emerge in the box serves Gungodan and Manchester City very well again. Mind you, the Newcastle defence didn’t leave him with a pocket of space just then, so much as a well-upholstered pair of cargo pants. Gundogan’s touch from Silva’s cross left him with a bouncing ball to pop past Nick Pope.

3rd minute: Haaland lays off to Gundogan and then spins over behind the Newcastle defence. That link-up brought goals for each player over the first two Premier League weekends. Newcastle see out the danger and Rodri blasts over from distance.

1st minute: Stones is harrassed into giving a throw-in away and Newcastle continue the attack by winning a corner. The second ball into the box is snaffled by Ederson but that’s a positive start from the hosts.

2 mins to kickoff: The teams are out and it’s bouncing as you’d expect. Phil Foden is set to start on the left wing for City, making his 100th Premier League appearance.

15 mins to kickoff: Eddie Howe is telling Sky Sports he does not want Newcastle to be passive and sit deep while giving up possession to City. Of course, that can be very much easier said than done, but the hosts will fancy their chances with a raucous capacity crowd filing into their seats. 

30 mins to kickoff: Hmmm, a possible injury concern for City in the warmup. Could Phillips be set for his first Premier League start for his new club?

40 mins to kickoff: Silva thrived in midfield last season and only tended to feature in the forward line as a false nine. City obviously now have a very real nine but, as Erling Haaland gets up to speed, expect to see a fair bit of him flanked by Silva and Foden. Certainly since Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling’s close-season departures, those two are Guardiola’s most effective and dynamic pressers from the front and represent a hand insurance against Haaland getting into the groove of what is required off the ball.

55 mins to kickoff: Eddie Howe sticks with the same Newcastle XI that drew 0-0 at Brighton last weekend.

1hr to kickoff: Guardiola hands Bernardo Silva his first start of the season in the City front three alongside Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. Ruben Dias drops to the City bench as John Stones partners Nathan Ake at centre-back, while injury rules out Jack Grealish. New arrival Sergio Gomez is among the substitutes.

1hr 10 mins to kickoff: Well, we know this much – Kyle Walker is starting for City because he’s just been on pre-match interviews duty.

1hr 20 mins to kickoff: Although, in all fairness, West Ham away on the opening weekend of the season looked like a tricky proposition for City until the match kicked off. Pep Guardiola’s side are pretty good at turning such situations into walkovers and Newcastle’s initial aim will be to avoid such a fate. We’ll have team news in about 20 minutes,

1hr 40 mins to kickoff: Is this game on the road to becoming one of English football’s big fixtures? Fresh from their Saudi takeover, Newcastle were beaten 4-0 and 5-0 by City last season but the optimism and momentum around Eddie Howe’s side continues to build. After a sensible rather than outlandish summer in the transfer market, they can provide the champions with their toughest test of the season so far.

2 hrs from kickoff: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Newcastle against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Newcastle vs. Man City predicted lineups

Fitness doubts around Emil Krafth and Matt Targett give Howe decisions to make at full-back, where Kieran Trippier’s versatility could see him fielded at left-back. Guardiola has fielded left-footers Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez on City’s right flank so far this season, so such a ploy would add up.

Newcastle projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Pope (GK) — Krafth, Burn, Schar, Trippier — Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton — Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin

Kalvin Phillips and Cole Palmer have each overcome niggles and can be expected to take places on the City bench alongside new signing Sergio Gomez. It feels likely that Guardiola will stick with a similar XI to those that beat West Ham and Bournemouth, especially now Bernardo Silva’s future no longer feels like such a hot-button issue 

Manchester City projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo — De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan — Foden, Haaland, Grealish
