It would be logical to expect a drop in intensity from both sides considering they each have achieved their respective objectives for the season.

Furthermore, City have the biggest game in their history to look forward to in just two weeks and Guadiola is is unlikely to take any risks which might curtail the involvement of his key players in the side’s first ever Champions League final.

The visitors should still have too much for a Newcastle team that have looked defensively unstable all season, having kept just a single clean sheet at home, but there should be interest in opposing a high-scoring game on Friday evening.
