What are the managers saying ahead of Newcastle vs Manchester City?
Steve Bruce, Newcastle: "[On last season's result] What's gone on in the past was a long, long time ago.
"We're practically a different team. We'll focus on what we can do and hopefully get the result. That would be nice.
"Man City as good as you get.
"We'll have to defend well and take our chances but we've done OK against some of the big teams this season. Let's hope we can again."
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City: "It's tough with a new manager but they have good results. "I think they will stay in the Premier League. They are physically strong, fast up front. Their structure is quite similar to under Rafa Benitez.
"We forgot to play (last season).
"We scored a goal and forgot to attack. We learned from that, obviously, but we had a bad, bad day. After that, we tried to be who we are.
"At that moment, I wasn't thinking about winning the Premier League or winning 14 games in a row. That would be a big mistake.
"Everybody understood that and we make a step forward."
