Both Newcastle United and Manchester City will look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they meet at St James' Park on Saturday.
Newcastle United :
The Magpies currently sit sixth in the Premier League with 10 points from their first four matches, but their form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a 3-1 loss to Fulham last weekend. Manager Eddie Howe expressed concerns over the team's performance, calling it their "worst we have played" this season. With a postponed EFL Cup tie giving the squad extra recovery time, Newcastle will be eager to demonstrate improvement against the league leaders. Historically, they’ve struggled against City, with only one win in their last 33 league meetings, but their recent home record boasts a ten-match unbeaten streak, making this clash a crucial opportunity for redemption.
Manchester City :
travel to Tyneside with the confidence of maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League. After a thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal, Pep Guardiola rotated his squad for the EFL Cup match against Watford, leading to a narrow 2-1 victory. The Citizens are on an impressive unbeaten run, aiming for their 25th consecutive league match without a loss. City have a strong track record against Newcastle, having won more matches and scored more goals against them than any other Premier League team. With a potent attacking lineup and a historical scoring streak against the Magpies, they will be looking to extend their dominance and solidify their lead in the table. However, Guardiola will be cautious, as Newcastle's recent home form poses a potential threat.
