Newcastle United team news

Newcastle striker Callum Wilson will miss the game through injury.

Wilson suffered a hamstring injury during last Friday’s 4-2 win at Leicester, in which he scored his 11th and 12th goals of the campaign, and will sit out the final three games of the season as a result.

Magpies manager Steve Bruce must decide whether to replace Wilson with Joelinton, Dwight Gayle or Andy Carroll. The latter two are out of contract at the end of the season.

Loan signing Joe Willock is fit after struggling with cramp late in the game at the King Power Stadium, but defender Fabian Schar serves the second instalment of a three-match ban and goalkeeper Karl Darlow and midfielder Isaac Hayden (both knee), skipper Jamaal Lascelles (foot) and winger Ryan Fraser (groin) are still sidelined.

Hayden and Fraser were pictured training this week but the game is likely to come too soon for them both.

Man City team news

City are likely to be without playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, who is still not fully fit after missing last week’s loss to Chelsea through fatigue.

Manager Pep Guardiola said: “He is still injured. He is getting better. When he is fit he will come to training.

Defender John Stones is available again after completing a three-match domestic suspension.

Guardiola, who may start to rotate his squad in preparation for the Champions League final, has no other fitness concerns.
