Manchester City will again have to do without their leading scorer Erling Haaland when they face Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend, but Kevin De Bruyne could make his first start of the season since Aug. 11, Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

Daryl Dike made his goalscoring reappearance for West Bromwich Albion in their 4-1 win over Aldershot Town in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

He scored 228 goals for Arsenal during his two spells, winning two Premier League titles before moving to Camp Nou, where he won a pair of LaLiga crowns and the Champions League.

Retired France defender Pascal Chimbonda has registered as a player for Skelmersdale United, the struggling ninth-tier English side the 44-year-old now manages, after collecting a touchline ban.

Matt Turner came up big (and short) this Saturday when Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United 2-1 in Matchday 20 of the Premier League.
