After an insipid display against Fulham last weekend, Newcastle are eager to build up momentum among their own supporters, and may get that chance when Manchester City visit on Saturday.
Eddie Howe will likely field a full-strength team against City, with their Carabao Cup match against AFC Wimbledon being postponed due to bad weather conditions. The Newcastle United F.C. vs Man City standings could play a crucial role in determining the intensity of this match, as both teams are vying for higher positions in the league.
Premier league table
No team has managed to break the deadlock yet as we near half-time. There have been two brief stoppages as Grealish went down in the box and shoved Tonali in the chest; neither incident warranting a VAR review.
City have never lost in 31 league matches against Newcastle – an unprecedented streak! Additionally, they have scored in every single one – making them unbeaten against just one opponent since 2001.
This game has a fast pace and both teams have created chances for themselves in this period. Trippier’s free-kick was deflected away from Burn’s near post by Trippier himself while Joelinton’s half-volley forced Ederson into making an excellent save. City are also looking threatening on the counter but it seems difficult for them to score against Newcastle’s defense.
Even so, this game remains highly engaging despite its occasional glitches; players are highly committed and there is a vibrant atmosphere within the stadium.
The first half was tight, but expect much more open play in the second. Both teams will likely attack aggressively and try to score goals more often; making for an exciting spectacle for fans and neutrals alike.
Manchester City holds a 78-63 advantage over Newcastle over their combined 192 games between them; however, Newcastle have won their last two against City. These teams will meet again next week in the FA Cup.

City have started the second half strong and are dominating possession, yet failing to create clear-cut chances. Gundogan attempts to set up Haaland on the edge of the box with his pass but his pass misses its target and later on City midfielder Tom Carroll attempts an audacious lob that falls right into Pope’s hands.
Predictions
Manchester City are unbeaten this Premier League season and look to maintain their dominance of top-flight football against Newcastle United at St James’ Park. Newcastle have secured top four status twice since 2013 but Pep Guardiola’s side will find them tough opponents despite enjoying success against them, winning four out of the last five meetings against them.
Newcastle United’s impressive start to the season was put an abrupt halt by their 3-1 loss at Fulham last weekend, yet Eddie Howe’s side still have an excellent chance at finishing in the top four. Unfortunately for them they will be missing several players including long-term absentees Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Bottman while forward Harvey Barnes may miss time with an injured toe.
The game will start at 11:30 GMT. Predicted lineups should become available a few hours prior to kickoff; while actual lineups will be made public approximately an hour beforehand. Manchester City have the best record against Newcastle since Premier League history started, winning 31 straight matches between them and themselves since 1996.
Manchester City had an outstanding start to their season until their disappointing loss against Arsenal, yet have gone unbeaten in 28 league matches since – inching closer towards Chelsea’s record win tally set back in 2008. They are favorites for this matchup and should take home all three points.
Manchester City will be without influential midfielder Rodri, who suffered knee ligament damage during their thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend. Still, they possess a powerful squad and should comfortably secure three points against Newcastle despite not having Rodri available. City have one more away match of the season against Crystal Palace on November 23; victory would see them move up into third position while beating Newcastle would further cement their status as title favorites; drawing would see them level on points with Liverpool and Tottenham; but winning could even propel them ahead in the standings!
