Pep Guardiola must decide whether to stick or twist as his Manchester City side resume their Premier League title charge against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm). Victory against the Magpies would allow City to open up a three-point advantage over Liverpool heading into the final three games.
That opportunity has been presented to them after Jurgen Klopp's side were held by Tottenham on Saturday afternoon. City, meanwhile, will have to dust themselves down following an agonisingly painful collapse against Champions League opponents Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Several players were put through 120 challenging minutes in Madrid, a game that saw the European dream slip away for Guardiola and his players another season. City also suffered some injuries, as Kyle Walker limped off after putting in a heroic performance when thrust straight back in after a troublesome ankle injury.
