Pep Guardiola and Manchester City's Premier League title chances remain in the balance and they'll host Newcastle on Sunday evening knowing that only three points will suffice.
With just three rounds of fixtures remaining after this weekend's action, the reigning English champions know that there is no more room for error, and they have nothing left to play for beyond the domestic title after being knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in midweek.
Liverpool ended City's dreams of FA Cup success as well, so they will be desperate to go the distance in the Premier League and get the better of Jurgen Klopp's Reds.
Guardiola may have to do without John Stones and Kyle Walker for this one, with both doubtful against the Magpies, which could see Joao Cancelo shift sides in City's back four.
Newcastle have injury concerns of their own, with Ryan Fraser, Isaac Hayden, Jamal Lewis and Fabian Schar all missing.
