Bet Live: Man City v. Newcastle

Manuel Pellegrini begins his career in the Manchester City managerial hot seat tonight as his boys host Newcastle United at Etihad Stadium. The 59-year-old Chilean will want to put three points in the bag on debut as he aims to fulfil the club's challenge of winning five trophies in five seasons.

There has been much speculation in the press about what style of football City will play this season, with most predictions pointing to a 4-3-3 formation. We are set to find out at 8pm tonight, although Pellegrini said he would not choose one specific strategy, saying "I am very flexible. I don't have the play every week exactly the same."

For City, striker Sergio Aguero is likely to come in to the team after recovering from a knee injury, while signings Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic could all debut. For the Magpies, Jonas Gutierrez could come into the starting team after hamstring problems.

William Hill Sports is offering 1/3 for Manchester City to take the three points in pre-game betting. The draw is paying 9/2 while Newcastle United are at distant 10/1 odds to come away with an upset victory.
