In the previous season, these teams met twice. At St. James' Park, we saw a 1:1 draw, while the Citizens won 4:0 at Etihad Stadium. In the past ten h2h games, the Citizens won seven times, while the Magpies won just once.
Regarding the number of goals, five out of the last ten h2h games went over 2.5 goals, and both teams scored in three of them.
Newcastle team overview
Newcastle have been among the top seven teams in the Premier League in the past three games. However, this season, the Magpies have had a disastrous start, considering they are sitting in 14th place with only 12 points - just two away from the danger zone. However, in the Champions League, they have been fantastic and are looking like a team that should easily secure the next phase of the competition.
For the upcoming game, the Magpies will miss several really important players. Joelinton, Valentino Livramento, Anthony Gordon, Nick Pope, and Yoane Wissa. Meanwhile, Dan Burn will serve his one-game suspension after receiving a red card in the Brentford game.

Manchester City team overview
Last season, Manchester City finished a season without a trophy for the first time since the 2016/17 season. This season, after a bad start in which they lost two of the first three games, they started playing much better. They managed to climb to second place, winning 22 points in 11 rounds - only four points away from the top spot. Also, just like Newcastle, Manchester City were fantastic in the Champions League, winning ten points in the first four rounds. Generally speaking, the Citizens seem to be on the rise.
After a 3:0 win over Liverpool, coach Pep Guardiola spoke to the media. He was really happy with a win, pointing out that it was his 1000th game as manager. The coach also said the team has a good vibe and energy. However, he acknowledged they lacked that energy last season.
For the upcoming game, Kovacic and Rodri should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Newcastle had some ups and downs recently, but most of their poor results were on the road. At home, they won five in a row while scoring two or more goals every time. Additionally, the Magpies have scored in all ten games, including against Barcelona, Liverpool, Arsenal, Benfica, Tottenham, and Ath. Bilbao... So, a pretty challenging schedule, but they still haven't had problems scoring.
Meanwhile, Manchester City won four in a row while scoring three or more goals each time. This season, Manchester City have scored at least one goal in 15 out of 17 games - 88%.
Moreover, three out of the last four h2h games at St. James' Park finished with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see both teams scoring
- Newcastle scored at least one goal in 11 consecutive games
- Newcastle won five home games in a row
- Manchester City won four in a row
- Manchester City scored at least one goal in 15 out of 17 games this season
