(The third change~~Continue to ask for votes~~)

Newcastle United is one of the oldest clubs in the world, nicknamed the "Magpies", and is a famous powerhouse in the Premier League, before Arsene Wenger did not stay at Arsenal, Newcastle United was one of Manchester City's biggest rivals on the road to the title.

And when it comes to Newcastle United, you can't fail to mention Alan Shearer, the Premier League's greatest goalscorer and Premier League goalscorer.

Although Pardew is full of confidence, the team's strength is at a clear disadvantage, and Newcastle United are also at a disadvantage in the past ten years, especially when visiting the Etihad Stadium.

In the past decade or so, Newcastle United have only won once at the Etihad Stadium in 2000, with Manchester City beating Newcastle United with 7 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw.

Compared with Manchester City's full personnel, Newcastle United has several players injured, and the small advantage has accumulated into a big advantage, and Manchester City has the advantage of strength, so in the eyes of the media, Manchester City's 12 consecutive wins should be 9 out of 10.

Of course~~~ If you talk about the support rate, except for the two teams, I think the other eighteen teams will all choose to support Newcastle United, and the rise of the team must step on all opponents in the league, it is clear that Manchester City has embarked on the road to rise.

At 3 p.m. England time, Etihad was already buzzing with people after a two-week absence, and the 48,000-seat stadium clearly couldn't satisfy the avid Manchester City fans.

I heard that the expansion of the stadium has been on the agenda for a long time, but it has not gone well, such as Manchester City's training base, this year, Manchester City is ready to build a new training base, with a capital budget of up to 200 million pounds, but like the expansion of the stadium, the training base is also not smooth.

Of course~~~ These are not what fans need to care about, the club's senior management will find a way to solve it, and fans only need to come to the stadium to cheer for their beloved team.

In the dressing room of the home team, Van Basten looked at his disciples with a serious face: "Guys, we have won 11 in a row, win this game, we can get the coveted 12 consecutive wins, I know, you care a lot, because in this way you can become the hero of Manchester City, leave your own record in the league, the best start in history, break Tottenham Hotspur's 11 consecutive wins, seriously, I am also there, I also want to be a member of this record, so ~~~ guys, now I just want to say to you: **** Damn, let Lao Tzu go out and win this victory. ”

Meanwhile, in the Etihad's away dressing room, Pardew was also making the final move: "The opponent Manchester City, the best team this season, they have equalled the longest opening streak in the league, and they are even likely to break this longest streak in this game, of course~~~ It will require them to beat us, guys, think about it, what will it be like if we beat Manchester City in this game?" ”

After listening to Padu's last words, the Newcastle United players all fell into illusions, knowing that Pardew clapped his hands, "Now, the opportunity is in front of us, whether you can seize it or not is up to you, guys, go ahead, and prove with your performance on the pitch who is the best team this season." ”

Soon, the players of both sides walked out of the players' tunnel under the leadership of the referee Fuwa.

Manchester City lineup: 433

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Clichy, Kompany, Boateng, Richards

Midfielders: De Jong, Yaya Toure, Li Feng

Forwards: Silva, Balotelli, Aguero

There have been no changes to Manchester City's centre-backs, with Klicy and Richards in the league, Kolarov and Zabaleta in the Champions League becoming Van Basten's regular rotation, and the only surprise is Dzeko's rest.

But this can't be helped, Dzeko is called "Bosnia-Herzegovina Diamond" by the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and belongs to the absolute core of the national team, and the two national team games have not fallen for a minute, so Van Basten chose Balotelli for this game.

Newcastle United:

Goalkeeper: Krull

Defenders: Ryan Taylor, Coloccini, Stephen Taylor, Simpson

Midfielders: Gutiérrez, Guthrie, Cabaye, Ben Arfa

Forwards: Demba Ba, Ameobi Jr

Krull is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and Cabaye, like Li Feng, has only joined Newcastle United in the new season, but he has already conquered the fans with his outstanding performances, which is much better than his French compatriot Ben Arfa.

Ben Alfa is known as France's "87 Golden Generation" and his namesake is that Benzema and Nasri are already in the big club, and the performance is quite good, it can be said that among the four, Ben Alfa is the worst of the mix, although he used to be the most favored one.

City have a lot to blame for this, and in October, also at home to Newcastle United, Frenkie de Jong's tackle not only scrapped the French talent for the entire season last year, but even affected the first few rounds of the season, until the end of September, when the French talent returned to the pitch in full health.

Facing De Jong again at this moment will definitely remind Ben Arfa of last year's game, which will inevitably have a great impact on his psychology, so this is a hurdle that Ben Arfa has to pass, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why Pardew insists on arranging Ben Arfa's appearance.

Demba Ba is no stranger to Li Feng in the front line, the two played against each other in the Bundesliga, as for the other striker, Ameobi is a youngster, and of course, there is also a veteran on the bench, also called Ameobi.

In Newcastle United, there used to be three players called Ameobi, three are brothers, the eldest brother Shawla Ameobi, who is the one sitting on the bench, the second is called Tommy Ameoby, the three used to be Newcastle United players, but they have transferred away at the moment, and the younger brother is called Sammy Ameobi, who is only 20 years old this year, and the three brothers play as strikers.

With the referee's whistle, the curtain of this key game officially opened at the Etihad Stadium, and the first kick-off was the home team Manchester City.

Balotelli pushed diagonally, Aguero passed back, the ball came to Li Feng's feet, Li Feng did not hold the ball forward, but continued to pass back, and then waited for the two lineups to pull away, before slowly approaching the center circle.

Yaya Toure held the ball, and after seeing that the line-ups of both sides had been stretched, the Manchester City midfielder began to launch the first attack of the game, holding the ball and striding towards Newcastle United's half.

Guthrie stopped in front of Yaya Toure, although the height difference between the two was huge, Guthrie was flexible, and not far from Yaya Toure, Gutierrez was eyeing him. (To be continued.) )
