Manchester City are chasing the summit spot as they look to record their third consecutive Premier League win when they take on Newcastle United, on Sunday.
Eddie Howe saw his men held to a goalless stalemate at Brighton & Hove Albion before overcoming Nottingham Forest 2-0 as the Magpies will want to improve on their 11th spot finish last season.
If Newcastle have made additions such as goalkeeper Nick Pope and defender Sven Botman, City have brought in Erling Haaland to break opponents' defenses.
While the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Community Shield wasn't an overall perfect start to the season for Guardiola's side, Newcastle await their challenge at St. James' Park, with GOAL on hand to deliver all of the information you need to keep up to date with events.
