Newcastle vs. Man City Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Newcastle vs. Man City

In their pursuit to narrow the gap to the Premier League summit, defending champions Manchester City embark on a journey to St James’ Park for a clash with Newcastle United on Saturday evening.

As of now, a significant 11-point difference separates these two teams in the league standings. Manchester City holds the third position, while Newcastle United is situated six places behind in ninth.

Concluding 2023 with three successive defeats and starting the New Year with a 4-2 loss against Liverpool, Newcastle found relief by securing a crucial 3-0 away victory over Tyne-Wear rivals Sunderland in the FA Cup third round last weekend.

Manager Eddie Howe, facing an injury crisis, opted for a robust starting lineup, and the decision paid off. Alexander Isak netted twice, complemented by a first-half own goal from Dan Ballard, allowing the Magpies to assert dominance over the Black Cats and secure bragging rights for the first time since 2011.

What to remember – Newcastle vs. Man City

Newcastle, eager to stay in the race for European spots, have demonstrated their capability with a home victory over Man City earlier this season and a close 1-0 loss at the Etihad in August. The spirited atmosphere at St James’ Park adds to their unpredictability.

Nevertheless, the Citizens, seemingly back in form with key players returning from injury, hold a strong historical record against Newcastle. Considering these factors, we anticipate that the champions will secure maximum points on Saturday.
