Ake starts, Rodri rested: Man City predicted line up vs Newcastle in FA Cup - gallery

Pep Guardiola could make several changes to his Manchester City starting line up when they face Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday night.

The Blues will hope for a positive response after they dropped points against Nottingham Forest in midweek, with the trip to St. James' Park an opportunity to forget about the tense Premier League title race with Arsenal.

City are likely to freshen up their squad for the cup clash, with James Trafford almost certain to be handed a start in goal. There could also be places for fringe players such as Nathan Ake, Tijani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez in the starting line up.

Here is how we think City will line up when they face Newcastle this weekend.
