Will be really tough after last night. Every team, including us knows we're a soft touch if we concede. My mood is bleak after last night.

Hopefully we start some of the new players who can give us a spark to get a result but I'm not confident at all.

If we are going to lose then can we just lose please? I can't take any more of this winning games and then throwing it away in the last few minutes.

we have a decent home record against Toon so hopefully this will continue

Man City are sweating over the fitness of Jack Grealish and Manuel Akanji who sustained muscle injuries in midweek and have emerged as major doubts. Oscar Bobb and Nico Gonzalez will also be assessed, while Rodri remains a long-term absentee.

The expected absence of Akanji, who started at right-back against Real Madrid, could see Guardiola select either Rico Lewis or Matheus Nunes on the right side of defence, while Nathan Ake could be fit to start again after playing for an hour in defence on his return from injury on Tuesday.

Guardiola will ponder whether to stick with John Stones in midfield or hand a start to one or two of Gonzalez - if fit - Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan or Bernardo Silva, while Jeremy Doku, who has just recovered from injury, Savinho, Omar Marmoush and Phil Foden, will all battle for starts on the flanks.
