Manchester City host Newcastle United on Saturday with both teams aiming to kick on in their respective battles.
Pep Guardiola and Man City are now five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and have 13 games to go. They can claw back that gap but they have shown plenty of defensive vulnerabilities in recent weeks. Having a fired up and fit Kevin de Bruyne back will be huge for the run-in as they aim to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble.
Newcastle will obviously be disappointed they lost in the League Cup to Manchester United but they gave a very good account of themselves. Eddie Howe’s side are now fully focused on finishing in the top four of the Premier League and if they win their games in-hand they will move above Tottenham into fourth place. Scoring goals has become an issue, as they’ve scored just three goals in their last seven Premier League games. That said, they did score three against Man City in a pulsating 3-3 draw at home in the return fixture earlier this season
Defending champions Manchester City have 55 points from 25 games to be placed second in the Premier League table – five points behind leaders Arsenal.
Manchester City will hope to close down the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal when they play host to Newcastle United on Saturday. This match has all the necessary ingredients to be an interesting one. Both sides are sitting at the top end of the table and have had plenty of positives to take from the current season. However, recent form is with City, as the Magpies have their own struggles to deal with.
Newcastle United suffered a heart-break at the weekend after losing the EFL Cup final to Manchester United 2-0. They would have very much loved to have ended their lengthy trophy drought, however, it was not to be. Man United were more clinical in front of goal, while Newcastle failed to do much with the huge amount of possession they had. This result is also in line with the club’s recent struggle in the Premier League, which has seen them drop out of the top four places.
On the other hand, Manchester City will be coming into this game on the back of a couple of comprehensive victories. After beating Bournemouth in the league, Pep Guardiola’s side eased past Bristol City in the FA Cup. As things stand, defending champions Manchester City have 55 points from 25 games to be placed second in the Premier League table – five points behind leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile, Newcastle United are fifth in the standings with 41 points from 23 matches.
Manchester City vs Newcastle United Live Schedule and Fixture
The Premier League match between Manchester City and Newcastle United will take place at Etihad Stadium on Saturday at 6 pm IST.
Manchester City team news
John Stones is still a doubt for Man City after he suffered a hamstring injury against Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. He may be back in the squad here but is not expected to start the game.
Staying in defence, Aymeric Laporte has been absent for the last three games due to an illness but could make his return against Eddie Howe’s side on Saturday lunchtime.
Back-up goalkeeper Stefan Ortega may also return to the fold after a hand injury but he was never expected to feature regardless.
Newcastle team news
Newcastle are expected to be without both Matt Targett and Joe Willock for the trip to Manchester. Evaluations will be carried out on Bruno Guimaraes as he played while seemingly carrying an injury in the Carabao Cup final defeat.
Howe is glad to have both Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson to choose from in attack and may look to rotate the team slightly after such a tough game against Manchester United. Nick Pope, who missed that game due to a red card against Liverpool, will come back in for Martin Dubravka.
Manchester City vs Newcastle score prediction
It will be fascinating to see whether Newcastle have a positive reaction to the Carabao Cup final defeat or if they are still licking their wounds. City certainly won’t be going easy on them and this is one of the worst fixtures to have.
Pep Guardiola’s side know they are in a serious title fight and have work to do. Newcastle’s form had deteriorated before the cup final and City should have enough to take the three points here. It won’t be easy, though.
