Newcastle United's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City will take place on Tuesday, 19th April, kicking off at 7.45pm.

The Magpies had been due to take on the reigning champions at St. James' Park on Sunday, 28th February, but the game was postponed after City reached - and subsequently won - the Capital One Cup final against Liverpool, which took place at Wembley on the same day.

Now Manuel Pellegrini will bring his team to Tyneside in April after the new date was confirmed, with the game set to be screened live on Sky Sports.

Ticket details for this fixture will be announced in due course.
