Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says they go to Manchester City tomorrow full of confidence.
Newcastle face the title holders on the back of a 5-1 win against Aston Villa.
Howe said: "They went into a tough game [in the Super Cup] and were desperate to win, you could see their reactions afterwards. This is a team that will not be complacent. They will be ready for us so we expect a really good game.
"We want our players to go there with all the positive emotions that our season last year and our first game of this season should bring. We have to be ourselves. We can't change. We want to become a top team consistently in the Premier League and to do that we have to have a clear identity and try to implement that on other teams."
On new signing Sandro Tonali, the manager also said: "The start is hugely important because it settles everyone down. You could see when he scored, the emotion coming out.
"The rest of his performance followed that, where he was excellent. Hopefully now he'll feel the love of the supporters and there will be an instant connection - that can only help him."
