Man City vs Newcastle – LIVE!
FA Cup holders Manchester City host Newcastle later today with a trip to Wembley on the line. City won the league last season as part of their stunning treble and are among the favorites to do so again. The hosts have been in good form of late, even if not always completely convinced, and stopping them remains one of the toughest tasks the sport has to offer.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are playing to keep their season alive. Eddie Howe’s side have struggled to get away from home all season and lacked the consistency needed to challenge for Champions League qualification again. If you lose this, there won’t be much left for them between now and summer.
Still, they already knocked City out of the Carabao Cup earlier this season, so they could certainly pose a threat on their day. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s special match blog!

Manchester City will have to play without Kevin De Bruyne in the FA Cup quarter-final against Newcastle United on Saturday, but Jack Grealish is back in contention.

When is the FA Cup semi-final draw?
15:07 , Jonathan Gorrie
The FA Cup semi-finals will be drawn this weekend.
Coventry were the first team to bookend their trip to Wembley with a dramatic 3-2 win away at Wolves.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are among the teams that could join them if they win their respective quarter-finals.
United’s trip to Anfield is certainly the highlight, while Manchester City are strong favorites to beat Newcastle on Saturday.
The Blues, meanwhile, are under pressure to beat Championship leaders Leicester if they want to return to the country’s national stadium after losing the Carabao Cup final there last month.
Here’s everything you need to know about the FA Cup semi-final draw.

Newcastle vs Man City team news today
15:01 , Jonathan Gorrie
Newcastle, meanwhile, are hopeful that Anthony Gordon will be fit to play despite coming off against Chelsea. Eddie Howe said on Friday: “It was strange because when you see a player coming off like that, the first thing you fear is there is a serious injury.
“But yesterday he trained partially, he competed and did well, so I don’t think he did anything serious, which is great news for us. Today we train again, then we will make a judgement.”
Kieran Trippier is missing, while all of Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Nick Pope, Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson are unavailable.
