Newcastle vs Manchester City: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Newcastle will host Manchester City in round six of the English Premier League 2024/25 season in an early kickoff on Saturday at St James Park. Can the Magpies hurt the defending Champions?
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle United began their Premier League campaign strongly with a four-match unbeaten run before tasting their first defeat of the new season, losing 3-1 to Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend. The Magpies will be hoping to rebound back from their setback as they continue their hope for a return to European competition next season. They currently sit sixth in the league table with 10 points, the same points as Chelsea and a point behind Arsenal. It is worth noting that each of the Magpie’s last five consecutive matches in all competitions has produced both teams scoring.
Eddie Howe’s team has an impressive home record, remaining unbeaten in their last nine Premier League home games. However, their last home defeat was against Manchester City last season, and they will be hoping to avoid a replica.
Manchester City Preview & Form
The defending Champions, Manchester City, have been in perfect form in their pursuit of a record-extending fifth consecutive Premier League title. They have managed to remain unbeaten in all of their opening matches in all competitions this season. Over the weekend, a very late equalizer by Stones allowed Manchester City to taste their first defeat against ten-man spirited Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, with the match ending in a dramatic 2-2 draw on Sunday. The draw sees City retain their number one spot in the league table with 13 points, but they are only one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool. In three out of their five league games, City has scored first, but their defense has conceded in four out of the five league games. It’s important to note that each of City’s last four league games has resulted in at least three goals being scored.
Pep Guardiola’s side, during their midweek game, defeated Championship side Watford 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to advance to the fourth round, where they will face Tottenham.
