Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson had to settle for bench roles at the Etihad Stadium as Eddie Howe had a close to full strength squad to choose from against the champions.
The Magpies also left Fabian Schar on the bench after the Swiss star had suffered a knock last weekend. Howe was also unable to name Jonjo Shelvey in his starting line-up with Sean Longstaff getting his chance.
United started with Martin Dubravka in goal with Emil Krafth and Matt Targett full-backs while Lascelles and Dan Burn were in the heart of defence. Joelinton, Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes patrolled the midfield.
