Newcastle vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Newcastle Team News
In their most recent match before the international break, Newcastle suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Brentford. In the second half they conceded three goals and had Dan Burn sent off for a second yellow card. This defeat demonstrated the team’s difficulties in managing games away from St. James’ Park.
Prior to the Brentford loss, Newcastle secured 2-0 home victory over weak Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League. At home ground, they also beat Wolves (1-0), Benfica (2-0), Forest (2-0) and Fulham (2-1) with much more intensive man-oriented pressing.
This season, only one team has completely outperformed them at St James’ Park in terms of expected goals: Arsenal (1-2). In their other matches, Newcastle displayed excellent play and were somewhat unfortunate in their home losses to Barcelona (1-2) and Liverpool (2-3).

Newcastle’s man-oriented pressing could be very effective against Man City’s fluid attacking system, and their quick attacking transitions would create big problems for the Citizens, as it was against Liverpool and Barcelona.
However, Newcastle’s suspension of Dan Burn is a massive blow for this upcoming fixture, as his aerial presence and leadership at the back are crucial to Eddie Howe’s system. Without him, Newcastle loses a key element against opponents’ set-pieces and crosses.
Tino Livramento and Yoane Wissa remain a doubt. Anthony Gordon is rated as “touch and go” with a hip injury.
There is positive news regarding Nick Pope, who is expected to reclaim his spot between the posts, despite Aaron Ramsdale pushing for a start.
Newcastle predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City are in great condition, with Jeremy Doku recently destroying the Liverpool defence and Erling Haaland continuing his brilliant scoring run.
The recent home victories against Liverpool (3-0) and Bournemouth (3-1) demonstrated a buildup system using a 3-1-6 formation, which created numerical overloads in the centre due to the narrow positioning of wingers Jeremy Doku and Ryan Cherki, effectively bypassing Liverpool’s press.
But it is a risky formation in which Pep Guardiola’s team play too narrowly and could be caught in the defensive transition, with the flanks completely open.
Additionally, Man City lost their last away game against Aston Villa (0-1), where they struggled to create enough big chances against a well-organised middle-low defensive block.

However, defensively, they have appeared more solid this season, with Josko Gvardiol standing out as a center-back and performing well in both ground and aerial duels.
Against Newcastle, City will likely look to exploit the absence of Dan Burn by targeting the left side of Newcastle’s central defense and using Erling Haaland’s physical superiority.
In terms of injuries, Rodri is a doubt due to a thigh issue. Mateo Kovacic remains a long-term absentee with an ankle injury, ruling him out until 2026.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gonzalez; Cherki, Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Newcastle vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: draw or Manchester City
- Odds: -345 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Manchester City
Newcastle United’s main path to success at St. James’ Park has historically been their high-octane pressing and intensity, fueled by the crowd.
However, with Dan Burn suspended, the reconfigured Newcastle backline, likely featuring Lewis Hall, faces the difficult task of containing Erling Haaland. Hall, while talented, loves to get forward, and this could leave space behind him for Savinho or Cherki to exploit.
Manchester City’s current form is simply too strong to ignore. In their win against Liverpool, they demonstrated an ability to bypass a high press with vertical passing and overloading the centre.
Newcastle’s best hope lies powerful pressing, set-pieces and quick counters via Harvey Barnes, but without a fully fit Anthony Gordon to stretch the play, their outlet options are limited.
Newcastle vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Erling Haaland to score
- Odds: -141 (20Bet)
While the historical stats suggest Haaland struggles against Newcastle, the context of this specific match overrides history.
Haaland is averaging 1.27 goals per game this season. With City creating “big chances” at a league-leading rate (Haaland has received 22 big chances already this season), the volume of service will be enough to score.
