Match preview

It's funny how quickly things can change in football. Manchester City beat Newcastle 2-1 in the Premier League on the 21st of February, but plenty of water has passed under the bridge since.

The Magpies have qualified for the Champions League round of 16, where they face a two-legged glamour tie with Barcelona, and produced two contrasting home performances. First, they lost 2-3 to Everton after an 83rd-minute Thierno Barry goal, and then mustered a spirited display to hand Michael Carrick his first defeat as Man United boss.

Newcastle played the entire second half of that game with 10 men after Jacob Ramsey's sending off, but substitute William Osula's stunning solo effort in the 90th minute bagged all three points, and snapping a three-game losing streak in the league at St James’ Park.

City's Wednesday went a little differently. Despite leading twice at home to Nottingham Forest, they had to settle for a 2-2 draw, which means they're now seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
