Newcastle United vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Newcastle United Team News
For Newcastle United, this competition will be critical, as they’re far from the title race in the Premier League. They’ve been undefeated in their last four games, all of which were victories.
Most recently, they drew AFC Bournemouth 3-3 in the FA Cup before winning the match on penalties. Harvey Barnes took three shots and converted two of them. He also posted a 100% success rate on long balls and helped his teammates out in defense, winning 80% of his ground duels.
The Magpies have several players unavailable. Anthony Elanga is a doubtful starter due to a knock, and he’ll be joined on the sidelines by the likes of Daniel Burn, Emile Krafth, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, and William Osula.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Botman, Thiaw, Trippier; Joelinton, Tonali, Guimaraes; Gordon, Woltemade, Barnes.
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City have been undefeated in their last five outings but have won only two of them.
Most recently, they defeated poor Exeter City by a whopping 10-1 scoreline! The Cityzens recorded 72% possession and an xG of 2.24 from 21 shots. Their passing accuracy stood at 92%, which should provide a huge morale boost ahead of the clash with Newcastle. They were extremely tight in defense too, winning 83% of their aerial duels.
Manager Pep Guardiola has several top players sidelined with injuries, which will force him to make changes to his XI. John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Dias, and Savinho have all been ruled out.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; Ake, Alleyne, Khusanov, Nunes; Gonzalez; Doku, Reijnders, Foden, Silva; Haaland.
Newcastle United vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Manchester City to win or draw
- Odds: -286 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Manchester City
We expect Man City to win or draw. They’re much stronger than their opponents, having scored 14 goals in their last five outings. Newcastle, on the other hand, have conceded eight in the same span.
In H2H encounters, City have a strong advantage, having avoided defeat in 30 of their last 34 meetings with the Magpies. Guardiola’s men currently sit second in the table, while Newcastle are sixth.
Newcastle United vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
Goals are to be expected here. City’s goalscoring credentials are proven, given that they just put 10 past Exeter. Haaland (20 league goals) will bear the biggest responsibility in the final third.
Newcastle also have plenty of top players in their ranks. Barnes has now scored four goals in two matches and will be the team’s biggest threat inside the box. Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has registered four goal involvements in his last three Premier League appearances and can be quite handy.
