Newcastle 0-0 Man City
It has been less than convincing City defending from set-pieces so far and Newcastle's latest corner is headed out for another by Erling Haaland.
Fair to say the hosts are on top here, but Fabian Schar goes into the book after hauling down Jack Grealish to prevent a Manchester City counter attack.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Ederson is wanting to take his time in possession but Anthony Gordon is all over him in these early stages. Great work by the Newcastle frontman so far.
Fabian Schar needs a bit of attention after being caught by Jack Grealish as the City player leapt for a header, but on we go.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Dan Burn goes down as the free-kick makes its way into the Newcastle box and that will be a free-kick to the hosts. Manchester City are yet to create a real opening yet midway through the first half at St James' Park.

Joelinton goes down claiming he's been fouled as Manchester City win possession in the Newcastle half, before Joelinton picks himself up to then clatter into Jack Grealish.
The City players, and Pep Guardiola, aren't best pleased with that. Just a City free-kick.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Josko Gvardiol is penalised for a foul throw deep in the Manchester City half, allowing Newcastle to maintain this promising spell, but Sandro Tonali frustratingly gives away a free-kick.

He changed the right one but the left remained. There are two different designs.

On Man City playing without Rodri...
They have coped in the past and they seem to find a way to win.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall stand over a free-kick midway into the Manchester City half. It's not convincingly cleared by City and the Newcastle pressure continues, but Ruben Dias heads away for the time being.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Nothing for Newcastle fans to get excited about from the set-piece, other than the fact that their side look very much up for this.
The hosts continue their positive period as Kieran Trippier earns another corner, this time Josko Gvardiol getting across to block a cross.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Good block from Jack Grealish as Newcastle build pressure on the Manchester City penalty area.
The ball is worked across to Kieran Trippier, who drills a shot toward goal, but Grealish takes one in the stomach and will need a minute before this Newcastle corner.

There's little room for City to attempt to thread passes through central areas, with Newcastle's midfield tightly arranged.
Bernardo Silva has been stood out on the right touchline for City but really hasn't seen very much of the ball at all.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Rico Lewis can't get his foot on a pass in midfield, allowing Newcastle to break, but the hosts can't make anything of a promising position.
City looking a little bit rushed in possession, especially in a congested midfield area.

The first lengthy moan at fourth official Robert Jones from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
He didn't like the way Erling Haaland was tackled from behind, with no free-kick, which ended up with the Norwegian on the ground and Newcastle allowed to push forward.
The motion Guardiola was making did not suggest he felt the Newcastle defender had played the ball.

Very brave from Ederson!
A decent way out of his penalty area, the Manchester City keeper calmly back heels a pass under pressure from Anthony Gordon. That certainly had the home support intrigued...

I am just watching City tactically, Akanji is dropping inside Kovacic and they are trying to create a little box to play out and it is working so far.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Rico Lewis is floating around midfield alongside Mateo Kovacic as expected as Manchester City look to deal with Rodri's absence.
Newcastle whip a cross in to the City box but it's not perfect enough to pick out Anthony Gordon at the back post. Promising signs from the hosts so far, though.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Erling Haaland, with 10 goals in his first five league games this term, has his first sighting of goal, but it's only a glimpse as he flashes a shot on the turn which is comfortable for Nick Pope.

Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Manchester City earn themselves an early corner, but Newcastle manage to get it clear at the second attempt. There's a nice rhythm to this so far.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Newcastle had started this one on the front foot, playing inside the Manchester City half, but the visitors eventually break free and it's not long before they have Newcastle pegged back, moving the ball around sharply.

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.
