Newcastle United vs Manchester City: TV channel, prediction & lineups

Manchester City have won ten of their last 12 encounters with Newcastle, including beating the Magpies on three seperate occasions last season, so will this trend continue?

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Preview

After dropping points for the first time this season last time out, will league-leaders Manchester City get back to winning ways?

On Sunday, the Sky Blues could only manage a 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Etihad, despite everything going in their favour.

Erling Braut Håland broke the deadlock after just nine minutes before, having turned the game around to lead 2-1, the Gunners were controversially reduced to ten-men on the cusp of half time.

So, despite having a man advantage for close to an hour of play, the Citizens created very few clear-cut opportunities, requiring a 98th minute equaliser from John Stones to salvage a share of the spoils.

That said, Pep Guardiola's team do remain unbeaten and top, but this will be another stern test of Man City's credentials.

Newcastle United meantime saw their unbeaten record this season come to an end last time out, defeated 3-1 by Fulham, with Harvey Barnes on target very much in vain at Craven Cottage.

Prior to this, Eddie Howe's side had collected ten points from a possible 12, beating both Southampton and Tottenham on Tyneside, meaning victory here would see the Magpies start a season with three successive home wins for the first time since 1995; that year, Kevin Keegan's 'entertainers' won their first 13 league matches at St James' Park and almost won the title.

Roared on by the ferocious Toon Army, can Newcastle become the first side to beat Man City in the league for 297 days?

Newcastle United Team News

After their EFL Cup tie with AFC Wimbledon was postponed due to flooding, Eddie Howe's team have had a free week, which could give them an advantage.

Howe switched both full-backs during last weekend's defeat in West London, so Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento could come in for Lloyd Kelly and captain Kieran Trippier from the start this time.

Harvey Barnes has now scored in three successive matches, meaning he'll keep his place on the left, with Anthony Gordon thereby shunted over to the right.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Manchester City: (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Hall; Guimarães, Joelinton, Tonali; Gordon, Barnes, Isak.

Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Manchester City

Alexander Isak got off the mark for the campaign during Newcastle's last match at St James' Park, having found the net both times Manchester City visited Tyneside last season, so can he keep that streak going?

Manchester City Team News

The headline team news is that Rodri suffered an ACL injury last weekend, so is set to miss the rest of the season, which is a huge blow, considering four of Man City's five defeats during the last campaign came without him.

On Tuesday, Pep Guardiola heavily rotated for the EFL Cup win over Watford, but his big guns will be back in here, with Mateo Kovačić the most-obvious Rodri deputy.

Given that Kevin De Bruyne is also out, İlkay Gündoğan will complete the midfield trio, alongside Phil Foden who started for the first time this season in mid-week.

Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Rúben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovačić, Gündoğan, Foden, Silva, Savinho; Håland.

Manchester City Player to Watch vs Newcastle United

Erling Braut Håland's opener against Arsenal means he's now scored 100 goals in just 105 Man City appearances, averaging a goal every 85 minutes.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Prediction

We're forecasting an entertaining early kick off on Saturday, but one in which Manchester City secure a narrow victory. Despite their generally impressive results, Newcastle's performances have been mixed, so Eddie Howe's team will need to be at their absolute best to get anything against the champions: Newcastle United 1-2 Manchester City.
