Will Manuel Pellegrini throw Wilfried Bony into the mix for a start on his Manchester City debut?

He scored two on his debut for Swansea City back in August 2013 and another on his Premier League debut for the men from South Wales

And how his new faithful would love to see him do it again in what is a must-win for City.

With Chelsea at home to lowly Burnley just a few hours earlier, City will most likely need a win against Newcastle to stay within seven points of the leaders.

If Bony starts having returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, where he scored twice, it will be the perfect opportunity to see how Pellegrini intends to use the striker alongside top scorer Sergio Aguero, possibly in a 4-4-2 formation.

And remember, Bony’s compatriot Yaya Toure is also back in action to bring power to the City midfield.
