Newcastle vs Manchester City Preview
Recent results
Away from home, Newcastle have been a disaster of late, losing the last three to Brighton (2-1), West Ham (3-1) and Brentford (3-1). But at St James’, Howe’s men are on a five-match winning streak across all competitions, so City should be wary of the home advantage.
However, the Citizens are on a marvellous run of their own, winning seven of the last eight – including the impressive 3-0 success over Liverpool last time out. Away from the Etihad, Guardiola’s side have lost only one of the previous six, which was the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa last month.
Head-to-head record
Newcastle’s recent record against City is quite frankly appalling. The Magpies have not beaten Guardiola’s team in the Premier League since January 2019, a winless run totalling 12 matches.
Two of the last three top-flight clashes at St James’ have finished as draws, though, with last season’s meeting ending 1-1 after Anthony Gordon cancelled out Josko Gvardiol’s opener.
Team news
Dan Burn is suspended for the hosts after his red card in the defeat to Brentford, with Gordon, Joelinton and Nick Pope all doubts. Yoane Wissa and Tino Livramento remain long-term absentees.
As for City, question marks remain over Rodri’s fitness, though the rest of the squad is in good shape. Well, apart from Mateo Kovacic, who is out for quite a while.
Newcastle vs Manchester City Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Newcastle are understandably the pre-match underdogs at a price of 3.53. A win for Manchester City is at odds of 1.95, while the draw is 3.71.
Newcastle vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Erling Haaland @ 1.80
Haaland continued his ridiculous scoring form over the international break with back-to-back braces for Norway vs Estonia and Italy. With 14 goals in 11 Premier League appearances, this bet just feels like a banker – even at a hostile St James’.
Bruno Guimaraes to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 3.50
Newcastle’s skipper has scored three goals in 10 Premier League appearances, and is certainly not afraid of taking shots from distance. So this bet could represent exceptional value!
Bruno Guimaraes to commit over 1.5 fouls @ 1.57
The tenacious Guimaraes has committed 21 fouls in 10 Premier League appearances, slightly more than two per game. With City likely to dominate possession, Newcastle midfielders should be drawn into making fouls – and we would not be surprised if this selection landed as early as the first half.
