Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is wary facing Newcastle's attacking options today.
The Magpies and City played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at St James' Park last August, with the home side opening a 3-1 lead at one stage.
Guardiola says Allan Saint-Maximin caused numerous problems in the first encounter and is mindful of the threat the livewire French winger will pose on this occasion.
We didn't find the space," said Pep, reflecting on the first meeting. Saint-Maximin dropped us back.
He has that ability to take the ball to use the counterattack to drive the ball.
If you cannot win that duel you have to defend 40 metres further back.
We are not a team that concedes too many counterattacks.
We try to play with proper strikers like Erling or Julian before sometimes it would be Gabriel who would drop.
This game was Saint-Maximin or Almiron or Joelinton - they have players who can run 40 metres with the ball.
When that happens, you have to defend. We saw it in the first 10 minutes against Bristol City on our right side.
We normally concede because we lose easy balls and in that aspect we have to improve."
