Newcastle United take on Man City
Newcastle United welcome Man City to St James' Park as Eddie Howe's side bid to upset the league leaders in their final game before Christmas.
City are in ominous form, having won their last seven top-flight fixtures, and Pep Guardiola's side hammered Leeds 7-0 in their last outing on Tuesday.
Newcastle will at least take heart from elements of their own performance against Liverpool on Thursday night after a spirited showing. Howe intends to rotate his squad a little after Jamal Lewis and Allan Saint-Maximin both pulled up during a taxing 3-1 defeat at Anfield.

19 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Wilson down
Ritchie's free-kick is cleared, and Almiron swings the ball back in.
Ederson comes out to claim, and he clatters Wilson in the process.
No fol, but the number nine takes a while to get back to his feet.
18 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Joelinton fouled
Great driving run from Joelinton wins his side a free-kick about 35 yards out.
17 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
FOUL
Martin Atkinson blows for a foul as Hayden attempts to nick the ball off De Bruyne in his own box.
Unlucky that for the hosts.
16 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Miscommunication
Spell of possession for the hosts breaks down as Murphy attempts to release Almiron down the line, but the attacker had held his ground.
15 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Almiron handball
Almiron is penalised for an alleged handball closing down a Zinchenko clearance.
Bit harsh considering he was just a yard or so away...
13 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Dubravka claims
De Bruyne attempts to slip Jesus in behind, but Dubravka is quick to claim the ball.
12 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
CLOSE
Joelinton flashes a shot from distance just wide!
Almiron was released in behind and his delayed cross is cleared to Joelinton, who comes close to beating Ederson from distance.
11 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
SAVE
The free-kick finds Cancelo at the far post, but his driven effort is claimed by Dubravka
10 MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Bernardo fouled
Willock penalised for bringing Bernardo down by the corner flag.
EIGHT MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
City corner
Almiron clears this time, and United managed to get the ball clear before Murphy fouls Sterling by the halfway line.
SIX MINS: NEW 0-1 MCICHRIS KNIGHT
Dias goal
Cancelo hooks a ball into the six-yard box, and Clark inexplicably leaves the ball for Dias to head the ball home.
Complete mix-up between the defender and Dubravka. Absolute gift.
FIVE MINS: NEW 0-0 MCIKEY EVENT
GOAL
Dreadful defending allows Rodri to score.
