Even as Manchester City are facing some injury problems currently, some of their players won’t be playing some matches, so there is a slight decline in Manchester City's performance, but even with their current performance, Newcastle shouldn't be so difficult for Manchester City to win. I am expecting three points from Manchester City in the match, even if they won't be able to score so many goals in the match, but Manchester City can't afford to drop from their current first position, and if they can lose against Newcastle, then another club will take the position from them, so Manchester City won’t want to lose to a club like Newcastle.
Manchester City role of De Bruyne isn't much compare to when Rodrigo combined together with Haaland are injured. I think t uh e squad is fine and more than average here. Arsenal just happen to be what happens in all other matches but that was a relief they finish as draw instead of lose that will slow them down in the push for this league trophy. In the mean time, even De Bruyne will soon be back fuly because it was just a minor injured, not a serious one that will take months of absence.
I have watch the team features from now till end of October, even if De Bruyne isn't around, his impact wouldn't be felt that much. The defensive players of Manchester City are well in guard and same goes with the forward, only the midfielders lack some but the ones in there are fine and will deliver absolutely. What they should be hoping is they should not have additional injuries to this one they already have otherwise things are going to be difficult from henceforth.
