The Newcastle gameplan Eddie Howe will adopt for Manchester City and Erling Haaland

I think Eddie Howe will be going on the front foot whichever system he plays against Manchester City. He will be trying to put them under pressure without leaving big gaps at the back to be hit on the counter attack because they do move the ball so quickly and they have pace. They can go from defence to attack very quickly.

With the exception of one result under Rafa Benitez where we beat them 2-1, the rest of the time at St James' Park, we've played with a really negative approach and we've still got beaten off them. I don't think Eddie will go with a negative approach, I think he'll go and be positive because we're at home and we've got the fans behind us.

We will look to try and cause them problems and ask them some questions. You're talking about one of the best, if not the best team in the world at the minute. They have some of the best players in the world in their position.
