Manchester City team news.

- Defender Ruben Dias has recovered from a hamstring injury and returned to training but is not yet fit to play. He remains on the injury list alongside Jérémy Doku (calf), Josko Gvardiol (broken leg), John Stones (thigh), Mateo Kovacic (ankle), and Savinho (muscle).

New defender Marc Guehi was not registered in the first leg after his transfer and will miss this match again. Nathan Aké or Max Allen are expected to partner Abdugadir Kusanov in defense, while James Trafford is likely to start in goal instead of Gianluigi Donnarumma as before.

Phil Foden is expected to return to the starting lineup after resting in the Premier League 2-2 draw with Spurs, possibly resting Ryan Gravenberch pending fitness checks. Omar Marmoush may lead the attack if Erling Haaland is rested, as City hold an advantage from the first leg.

Newcastle United team news.

- Eddie Howe has confirmed that captain Bruno Guimarães and young midfielder Lewis Miley will not recover in time and will miss the match, along with Joelinton (groin), Tino Livramento (hamstring), Fabian Schär (ankle), and Emil Krafth (knee). Sven Botman is back in contention but may not be fit for the starting eleven.

In midfield, Sandro Tonali will again take on a key role, supported by Jacob Ramsey and Joe Willock. In attack, where no traditional striker was used in the Premier League loss to Liverpool, Yoan Vissa or Nick Voltemade may return, likely replacing Anthony Elanga on the bench.
