Eddie Howe embarks on his toughest test as Newcastle United boss to date against Manchester City this weekend. Pep Guardiola's high-fliers are a wounded animal after crashing out the Champions League in dramatic fashion on Wednesday.
City crumbled despite having one foot in the final, conceding twice at the death to force extra time. A 95th-minute spot-kick dumped the Premier League champions out of the competition - meaning the league title is all they have to play for.
Howe will be hoping to capitalise on a leggy Guardiola side that endured a chaotic 120 minutes of football in midweek. However, the Toon boss must do so with several selection headaches in mind.
