Team News

Newcastle
Man City
  • Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley and Callum Wilson remain ruled out, though the quartet are Newcastle's only confirmed absentees.
  • Newcastle's midweek EFL Cup meeting with Wimbledon was postponed, so they have had plenty of time to prepare for Saturday's game.
  • Alexander Isak is a doubt owing to a toe issue.
  • Rodri is set to miss the rest of the season following a serious knee injury and joins Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake on the sidelines.
  • Kevin De Bruyne missed the midweek win over Watford and also won't return here.

Prediction

  • Newcastle saw their unbeaten start to the season abruptly ended last time out as they fell to a 3-1 loss at Fulham. They did see their midweek EFL Cup game postponed, so have had extra time to prepare for Saturday's welcome of Manchester City.
  • City booked their spot in the next round of the EFL Cup in midweek to follow up their exciting 2-2 draw with Arsenal last time out. Pep Guardiola's side have won 10 of their last 12 meetings with the Magpies.
  • City are expected to get back to winning ways in the league, and are favourites to secure the spoils in Saturday's early kick off.

  • No Rodri no party. His role is becoming what Messi was at Barca

  • antifootball punished once again. Rodri big miss for them as Kovacic can't score from a distance and is not as physical when set pieces. Lewis in midfield is not an option vs serious teams.

  • @koziol.mutant also the best was to sell Palmer

  • 1-3

  • Whenever Newcastle play the City at home, they take it like a Derby encounter. It would disappoint them if they do not compete here. BTTS & o2.5 - 1.96

  • Haaland TSA -110

  • City Win

  • Newcastle win. 2-1

  • Newcastle Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Tonali; Gordon, Murphy, Barnes.

  • MAN CITY Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Lewis, Gundogan; Silva, Haaland, Grealish.

  • Pep Guardiola is expecting to be without Rodri for the rest of the season after the midfielder underwent surgery on his knee ligament injury.

  • Isak won't play

  • 3-1. Haaland TSA

  • Away win

  • 2:1 to Man City . However Newcastle have scored in every game at home this season, they wont stop City to win this game. BTTS is more favourable

  • I have had a very large bet on Man City / Arsenal Win double @ 1.95 Odds.

  • @Marbella how large ser? at least digits range

  • @Marbella mhahaha

  • city easy win and over 2.5 goals

  • Newcastle have scored in their last 17 outings at St James park.
