The Manchester City vs. Newcastle match in the 27th round of the Premier League kicks off shortly. The teams have officially announced both their starting lineups and their reserve squads. Notably, Uzbek defender Abduqodir Husanov will start the match as a substitute for the hosts.
The hosts brought on an experienced and seemingly unexpected squad today: Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal, Mateus Nunes, Ruben Dias, and Marc Guehi in defense, and Ryan Ait-Nouri on the wing. In the center, Bernardo Silva stands out as the captain, along with Rodri, who maintains the tempo of the game. Nico O'Reilly, Antoine Semeno, Omar Marmusch, and the main goalscorer, Erling Haaland, play in the attacking line.

Newcastle is also coming out with quite an interesting lineup: Pope at the goal, team captain Trippier, Hall, Thiaw, and Byrne in defense. Tonali, Gordon, and Willock will be the team's drivers in midfield. In attack, there are quick options like Elanga and Voltemade, and Ramsay is also included in the squad.
