On Saturday at 8 p.m., Newcastle United will play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
There aren’t many Premier League matches that are as challenging as a trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Pep Guardiola’s team. Newcastle has lost 14 straight league games at the stadium, so despite being two spots ahead of City in the Premier League standings, their recent record is hardly anything to brag about.
Eddie Howe’s team will need their key players and recent additions to truly contribute if they are to end that run this weekend. One of the individuals the Magpies will rely on this weekend is Sandro Tonali, who made the best possible impression on his debut for the club with a goal just six minutes in.
Many people were thrilled by the Italian’s performance against Villa, and he surprised everyone by celebrating his debut. Tonali visited a Wetherspoons in Gosforth earlier in the week, where curious fans were able to take a photo.

Naturally, information about his visit spread quickly on social media, with supporters speculating as to why the 23-year-old found himself in the bar. Sport Bible asked Bruno Guimaraes this query for a Tik Tok video.
The Brazilian laughed and said he had “no idea” who had brought Tonali to the Wetherspoons in response to this query while he was signing a pair of football boots. Although Kevin De Bruyne won’t be lining up against them, the duo will be looking to impress this weekend against a very good Manchester City midfielder.
The enigma appears to be still present.
