London - John Carver, Newcastle's head coach, has several injury worries as the mid-table Magpies look to repeat their fine 2-0 League Cup victory at City in October.

Paul Dummett has been ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee injury sustained in the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, leaving Newcastle with just four fit senior defenders, after allowing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa to complete a permanent move to Roma and Davide Santon's return on loan to his former club Inter Milan in the transfer window.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
