Manuel Pellegrini’s side will be without captain Vincent Kompany, who aggravated a calf injury against Sunderland, but striker Sergio Aguero is likely to start after being rested.

“He had a small problem, so it was better for him not to take any risks. He will be 100 percent on Tuesday.”
Tottenham Hotspur moved into the top four on Saturday by beating Norwich City 3-0, Harry Kane scoring twice, and they face another promoted team on Monday in the form of Watford.

Newcastle manager Steve McClaren admitted that he faced a struggle to rouse his players after they succumbed to a 93rd-minute Tom Cleverley header in a 1-0 home defeat by Everton.
