Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe delivered a positive injury update today, confirming that three key players are close to returning for the massive fixture against Manchester City.
Anthony Gordon has "worked very hard" to recover from a hip injury and is a major doubt, while Tino Livramento is "very close" after recovering from a knee ligament injury.
Furthermore, goalkeeper Nick Pope is "fine" after undergoing concussion protocols.
The return of these players would be a huge boost for Newcastle as they look to secure a statement victory at St James' Park.
