He will be assisted in the Man City attack line by the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Rodri.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo:
The Manchester United forward is expected to start against Brentford on Saturday evening.
Ronaldo came off the bench during Man United’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton last weekend.
However, the Portugal captain has already tweeted, revealing he is fit and ready to start against Brighton this weekend.
His manager, Erik ten Hag, also suggested at his pre-match press conference on Friday that the five-time Ballon d’ Or winner is fit to start against Brentford.
3. Darwin Nunez:
Nunez produced a man-of-the-match performance when he came off the bench in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham last weekend.

4. William Saliba:
The Arsenal centre-back was named man-of-the-match against Crystal Palace last Friday.
The French youngster was solid at the back for the Gunners against Palace. However, for Arsenal not to concede a goal against Leicester City on Saturday at Emirates, then Saliba will have to continue his outstanding performance for Mikel Arteta’s side.
5. Pascal Grob:
Grob produced a spectacular performance for Brighton against Manchester United last weekend.
He netted a brace to ensure Brighton defeated Man United at Old Trafford.
For Brighton to stand a chance against Newcastle United on Saturday, then Grob will have to put the display he showed against Man United.
Grob is currently the joint-top scorer in the Premier League, alongside Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
