Man City v Newcastle Preview
Man City’s Form
For a side which has been so dominant for the best part of a decade but particularly since Guardioala’s appointment in 2016 by comparision this has been a difficult season for the club. City are 5th in the Premier League and on the verge of being knocked out of Europe following their midweek defeat 2-3 against Real Madrid. However, they spent big in January with over £180 million spent most of which were on first team signings Khusanov, Reis, Marmoush, Bah and Nico.
City have continued to struggle in recent weeks, opening the month with a 5-1 defeat against Arsenal though the game was statistically far closer it was still a reflection of their poor form this season. They then struggled against Leyton Orient needing second half goals from new signing Khusanov and veteran City midfielder De Bruyne to save face. Midweek they took the lead against Real but the typical late late show from the Spanish side meant they fell to another defeat this time 2-3.
City are fifteeen points back of league leaders Liverpool with twelve games remaining and effectively may have to win each of those to stand a chance of a late title charge.

Newcastle’s Form
Since the Saudi takeover, the rise in the club's stature has been constant albeit slower than City’s previous rise (due to PSR Rules). Last season they were consistent across competitions being competitive in the Champions League “Group of Death” finishing 7th in the league and reaching the Quarter-Finals in both the EFL and FA Cup.
This season was always going to be interesting to assess whether they would become a more considerable force domestically in the absence of European commitments. That’s duly transpired with their dispatching over Arsenal meaning they have an EFL Cup final to look forward to and their 41 point total currently sitting them level on points with Man City and well within a chance of claiming a European Place again.
Newcastle most recently had a 2-3 win over Birmingham and most importantly were able to rotate most of their starting side for the game.

Key Players To Watch
Erling Haaland - Man City
The Norwegian freak of nature has recently agreed on a 9.5-year new deal with Man City, which would take his time at the club to June 2034 so it’s likely we will see him terrorise defences for Man City at the very least until his reported “high” release clause is activated in 2029.
This season he’s scored 27 goals and 2 assists from 34 games in all competitions following his midweek brace, he is 10/3 to score first or 5/6 to score at any time.
Alexander Isak - Newcastle
The “New Zlatan” (25) is one of the most potent finishers in the Premier League and as his nickname suggests alsot has the skill and holding-the-ball-up ability of his legendary compatriot.
This season he has continued his flying form from last year with 19 goals and 5 assists in 28 games. He is 5/1 to score first in this game and 6/5 to score anytime.
Man City v Newcastle Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Man City 2-1 Newcastle
City have continued to struggle in all competitions in recent weeks, but there is still considerable quality in this side so are justifiably favourites.
Newcastle are a fine side who’s upward trajectory has continued this season and will fancy their chances of earning themselves a win in this game which would mean they leapfrog their opponents.
This is a very difficult game to assess, but I still believe City are due to go on a winning streak.
Best Bet: BTTS + Man City Win @ 19/10
