The View from Newcastle United: "I wish we were playing City in the Champions League"
The Premier League is back after the international break, and Manchester City travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League.
City are in a good position with momentum from their recent wins. However, as our Talking City hosts Alex James and Tyrone Marshall note, it will be "non-stop" until the international break.
Tyrone also speaks to Everything is Black and White podcast host Andrew Musgrove to get the view from the North East, who jokes that Newcastle would rather be playing City in the Champions League, thanks to the patchy form in the league from Eddie Howe's side.

INDESTRUCTIBLE Erling Haaland leads Norway to 2026 World Cup qualification
The 2026 World Cup is still a year away and the Talking City podcast is already predicting who will score the most goals at the tournament in North America.
It will not come as a surprise that Tyrone Marshall believes Erling Haaland could "easily" win the Golden Boot for Norway next year, after he secured their place in the tournament against Italy last night.
He tells Alex James about the prolific striker's immense workload this season - where he could play over 70 games for club and country - and a night of contrasts for Haaland and his City teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was between the sticks for Italy.
