In the 12th round of the Premier League, Newcastle faced Manchester City at St. James Park. Before this game, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe expressed his views.
Eddie Howe said: "We like playing here very much and our home record is very good. We are full of confidence here and hope to show ourselves in the right way. In the Premier League, we still have a lot of work to do to ensure that we can continue to maintain our best form."
"Pope is in good condition, he has been training since the beginning of the week. He has been training for four or five days, so there are no problems with his physical condition."
"Trippier had some minor hamstring problems yesterday, so we will not risk him playing."
