Pep Guardiola‘s side came into the game full of confidence having lifted the UEFA Super Cup in Athens just three days earlier.
We were also looking to back up our opening day victory at Burnley as we begin the hunt for a record fourth successive Premier League title.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle were also flying high heading into the game after a 5-1 thrashing of Aston Villa in the first weekend of the new campaign.
It was our first game at the Etihad since lifting the Premier League trophy there in May.
How would this game play out?
