City moved into the top four of the Premier League with a 4-0 win at the Etihad Stadium, as Omar Marmoush scored a first-half hat-trick and James McAtee came off the bench to get on the scoresheet late on.
Pep Guardiola offered a positive injury update on Erling Haaland after Manchester City’s win over Newcastle.
He came straight off but took a seat on the bench rather than going down the tunnel, and Guardiola was optimistic after the match that Haaland had avoided a significant injury.
The win over Newcastle ensured they will go into that match in confident mood, with Guardiola particularly impressed by Nico Gonzalez.
The striker, who captained the side for the first time, jarred his knee as he went to close down Fabian Schar and went down in pain.
