Preview: Newcastle United vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole previews the Saturday lunchtime match between Newcastle United and Manchester City.

Newcastle United will be looking to record just their second win in eight Premier League games when they face Manchester City on Saturday.

Manager Alan Pardew has seen his side lose five out of their last six matches, with the most recent defeat coming against Fulham on Monday night.

However, Pardew's options are limited and he could be forced into naming the same lineup that disappointed at Craven Cottage.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is likely to make several alterations to his side after last week's 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.

Carlos Tevez is likely to be recalled in place of Mario Balotelli, while Kolo Toure could deputise for Vincent Kompany if the Belgian centre-back does not recover from a knock picked up last weekend.
