I think maybe give it 10 or 15 minutes and see how it goes. I think Bernardo Silva has been a bit quiet and they may freshen it up with Phil Foden maybe.

City are one of those teams who will find a way to replace Rodri. They have the potential all the way through the squad, down to youth levels.

Fabian Schar is forward for Newcastle but can't put his header on target. As the ball falls behind him, Harvey Barnes goes down inside the penalty area as he tries to keep hold of possession - but VAR decide not to get involved.

Re. Gary at 13:18 - You mean like they "bottled it" against City? They should have won the game with 10 men. I wouldn't say that was bottling it.

Ex-Chelsea and England midfielder on TNT Sports
Joe think’s Eddie Howe will be asking the same from his Newcastle players in the second half, despite being 1-0 down:
Its really tough when you’ve played as well as Newcastle have against Man City. They are playing man to man Eddie Howe will be asking his players to keep doing what they are doing.
I think if a chance comes Anthony Gordon’s way, I think they could get back in the game. Newcastle’s concentration is going to have to be perfect.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Newcastle, unbeaten in their last 10 home league games, have scored in their past 21 at St James' Park in the competition. Go and get a second ASAP will surely have been the message from Pep Guardiola, after seeing his side frequently under pressure in the first half.

No changes to report at the break - and away we go again at St James' Park.

Gvardiol to be the new Rodri. You heard it here first.

Rodri was huge last season, but City didn’t have Gundogan.

Kyle Walker is deep in discussion with Josko Gvardiol as the Manchester City players emerge for the second half, soon followed by the hosts.

Ex-Chelsea and England midfielder on TNT Sports
Joe was asked to share his thoughts on Newcastle in the first half against Man City at St James' Park:
"I thought they where excellent. They were pressing them early on. But Pep spotted what was going on. It’s a real tactical game. I thought Newcastle where great but quality hurts you though and Manchester City has it in abundance."
Arsenal v Leicester (15:00 BST)
Chris Sutton
BBC Sport predictions expert
Image source, Getty ImagesAre we going to see Arsenal park the bus again? It was more like a couple of buses than just one in front of their goal against Manchester City.
There is a lot of attention on Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and his approach, and whether people view his team as too negative - they were also very defensive against Atalanta in the Champions League last week - but it's what happens in the end that counts.
If this is all part of a long-term plan and Arsenal end up winning the Premier League, then you have to take your hat off to Arteta. In any case, I'm expecting them to be much more attack-minded here.
I always felt it was going to be very difficult for all three promoted clubs this season, and I predicted they would all go down, just like all three did last time.
Losing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea in the summer was a big blow because he knitted everything in midfield and, as a team, I would say Leicester are a work in progress.
The problem for Leicester is you don't want to be playing Arsenal when you are a work in progress. This is going to be an extremely tough afternoon for them, and I can't see them getting anything at the Emirates.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Kevin Nolan
Former West Ham midfielder on BBC's Football Daily podcast
On Rodri's injury and the fixture schedule...
When you are sitting there in pain and going through the rehab and you have had the operation and there are a million things going through your mind and I asked the physio if he reckoned it was fatigue that was the reason why I did my ACL and he said 'we'll never know', because ACLs are freakish injuries that are not traditionally picked up by fatigue.'
I don't know if that's a red herring if you like but I get what people are saying. The hierarchy will always try and fulfil fixtures and will always want the Club World Cup next summer.
It's now for the managers to say 'we are going to play in it, but we are not going to play our top men. The guys that are playing every single week in the Premier League and the Champions League, these guys will not be playing.'

Great goal by Gvardiol. City under extreme pressure, but they're always dangerous.
Tarporley Blue
Grealish has finally started running with the ball again instead of standing still. Pep must be furious.

Stewart Downing

I think it has been a great game. Both teams have had chances and Newcastle have probably been the more threatening.
Newcastle had that chance on the verge of added time but it was a great save by Ederson.
It is still there for Newcastle but they have to be more clinical. Man City have had two shots and scored one of them.

Erling Haaland had to receive treatment on his Achilles midway through the first half, after a tackle from Newcastle defender Dan Burn.
There's a hole in his sock but he looked to be moving around ok before the interval.

Re: Ryan at 12:56 - Man City had Haaland and de Bruyne out for a combined eight months last season and still won the league. Rodri or no Rodri, Arsenal will still bottle it, it’s what they do.

Newcastle's initial corner comes to nothing and the whistle goes before Eddie Howe's side can cause any further trouble.

Just the one added minute to come at the end of the first half at St James' Park, and it begins with a Newcastle free-kick just inside the City half.
Save! Joelinton produces a superb touch to bring the ball down and fire a shot at goal, but Ederson gets a hand to it.

Wolves have lost more Premier League games against Liverpool than they have vs any other opponent (16). They’ve lost 14 of their last 15 against the Reds in the league, with the exception being a 3-0 home win in February 2023.
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in 65% of their Premier League games against Wolves (13/20), the second-highest rate of any side to have faced another 20+ times in the competition, after Chelsea against Middlesbrough (67% - 20/30).
Wolves remain without a league win so far this season (D1 L4) – only in 2003-04 (first seven) and 2019-20 (first six) have they gone longer without victory from the start of a Premier League campaign.
Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory. The Reds had conceded in each of their previous 10 games before this run (16 goals conceded in total).
No current Premier League side is on a longer run without a clean sheet than Wolves, who have conceded in each of their last 17 top-flight matches (same as Southampton). It’s Wolves’ longest run without a shutout in the competition since a run of 30 in 2011-12.
Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games despite having led at half-time in each (1-2 v Newcastle, 1-3 v Aston Villa). No team in Premier League history has lost three consecutive matches having been ahead at the break each time.
Liverpool have conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League side so far this season (1), while no team has shipped more than Wolves (14). Indeed, Wolves’ 14 goals conceded is their most after five games of any league season since 1985-86 (14 in third tier), and most in the top-flight since 1970-71 (14).
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist against Bournemouth last time out was his 59th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of Steve McManaman as the outright third most for Liverpool in the competition. It also moved him level with teammate Andrew Robertson for most assists by a defender in the competition’s history.
Since the start of last season, Matheus Cunha has been involved in more Premier League goals for Wolves than any other player (21 – 14 goals, 7 assists). Eight of his last 13 goals for the club have either put them ahead (2) or drawn them level (6) in the match.
Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League appearances, scoring five and assisting one. He’s scored a brace in two of his last three for the Reds, having netted multiple goals in just one of his first 69 Premier League games.
