Newcastle
Newcastle full-back Jamal Lewis was forced off after just 15 minutes against Liverpool and he will be sidelined until January with a hamstring injury. Matt Ritchie is likely to fill in at left-back in Lewis's absence on Sunday.
Allan Saint-Maximin also limped off at Anfield and the quick turnaround in fixtures makes him a serious doubt for Sunday's game, although Howe is hopeful that the attacker has not suffered a major setback.
Callum Wilson
Centre-back Federico Fernandez is not expected to return from a knock that he sustained earlier this month, while Paul Dummett is back in training but not fit enough for this weekend's clash.
Isaac Hayden returned to the starting lineup on Thursday and he is expected to remain in midfield alongside Shelvey, with Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy providing the width for the home side.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Manquillo, Lascelles, Schar, Ritchie; Fraser, Hayden, Shelvey, Murphy; Wilson, Joelinton
Manchester City
Bernardo Silva is a doubt for Man City after being substituted off at half time against Leeds as a precaution, and Guardiola may rest the Portuguese international having played every minute of every game since the beginning of November before Tuesday evening's outing.
Torres will be absent from the visitors' squad as he continues his recovery from a foot injury, having not played for Man City since September.
Joao Cancelo could return to the side after suspension along with Raheem Sterling, who could lead the line for Man City looking to add to his four-goal tally in the Premier League this season.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Sterling, Grealish
Prediction: Newcastle United 0-3 Manchester City
