Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola comments on Mourinho difficult moment 'Our job depends on results'

Rafa Benitez will most likely put his entire team behind the ball and look to stop Manchester City for as long as possible in hope of a fortuitous goal or clean sheet for Newcastle.

He did this last season and last week against Chelsea, where he was criticised for his negative style of play after Wolves drew with City after a bold attacking performance.

“Last season he did it against us away and at home,” said Pep Guardiola on Benitez’s tactics. “Everything he is going to do is because he believes it’s the best for them to get points.”

FULL TIME: Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United 

City win once again and move onto 10 points but it was not as comfortable as it normally is for the Citizens. 

The better players shone through though and goals from Sterling and Walker give City the three points. 

Newcastle scored a good goal of their own from Deandre Yedlin but it wasn't enough to get a point. 

A more than respectable result for the Toon Army but it is still only one point from four matches even though they'll think they should have accumulated a few more.

They've now played against Spurs, Chelsea and City and not lost by more than one against any of them.
