Another product of the Manchester City academy, Charlie Gray.

The local lad has made plenty of appearances at youth level but it's a special night for him making his senior debut at the Etihad.

Mathias Jensen is replaced by Romelle Donavon.

For the hosts, Phil Foden makes way for 19-year-old Charlie Gray, who is on for his senior debut.

Brentford have a rare foray into the Manchester City half, the ball comes in but they are caught offside again.

Brentford have had three shots in this game. All three have been on target but none have really tested James Trafford in the City goal.

A clean sheet would be a nice boost for the England keeper.

Brentford's turn to make some changes.

Keane Lewis-Potter and Aaron Hickey replace Michael Kayode and Rico Henry.

Brentford were just starting to create some chances before that Savinho chip found the back of the net.

The goal has ended up taking it out of them somewhat. They've been pretty passive since going two down.

Level at the break.

Just one minute added on.

Heartbreaking for Brentford and Ajer. Ajer worked so hard to get back, and in doing so it was him who the ball deflected awkwardly off.

Yoane Wissa lands awkwardly and isn't happy with his Fulham marker but Jacob Murphy's shot is blocked. Wissa is OK though.

Man City are cooking at the moment. Arsenal are looking over their shoulder, I know it's a cup game this evening but they play early this weekend.

Jacob Murphy fizzes in a low cross towards Yoane Wissa but Jorge Cuenca slides it behind to stop the Toon striker having a potential tap-in.

Nico O'Reilly, Nico Gonzalez and Rayan Cherki make way for Josko Gvardiol, Bernardo Silva and Matheus Nunes.

Newcastle have put Fulham under pressure tonight when they've got crosses into the box. Harvey Barnes and then Joe Willock this time, although no chance at the end of it.

Manchester City do well in a crowded area just outside the penalty box, Rayan Cherki dinking over for Phil Foden and the forward gets his shot away and forces Hakon Valdimarsson into a good save.

You think Yoane Wissa is going to score but it's well defended by Fulham. Much better from Newcastle.

Chance for Newcastle as Bruno Guimaraes shoots from outside the box. It's deflected I think and then punched by the Fulham keeper back into the danger zone. it almost lands to Yoane Wissa, but not quite, and then Tino Livramento curls an effort off target.

Matheus Nunes is stripped off and ready to come on for Manchester City.

Skipper Bernardo Silva too.

A little bit scrappy. A lot of midfield play without much penalty box action.
