Thomas Tuchel’s men begin their campaign on Wednesday.

Second-half goals from Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku helped City trim the deficit to six points ahead of next week’s Etihad Stadium clash.

O’Reilly scored both goals as his side won the Carabao Cup final against their Premier League title rivals.

Guardiola sprinted along the Wembley touchline before kicking an advertising board following Nico O’Reilly’s quickfire second-half brace.

Newcastle-Manchester City part five takes place at St James’ Park on Saturday.

Nico O’Reilly scored a brace, either side of Lewis Hall’s equaliser for the visitors, to put the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s league leaders.
