Newcastle vs Manchester City Team News

Newcastle Team News

Hit by injuries, Newcastle dropped from a top six side to becoming a struggling mid-table team in recent weeks. The Magpies rank 14th in the Premier League, winning two and losing three in their last five matches.

The reason? Injuries. Against Brentford, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton was subbed off after 25 minutes following an injury. With only one big chance, Newcastle did well as Harvey Barnes scored the first goal minutes later. 

Things got worse in the second half, when left-back Dan Burn was sent off following a second yellow. After that, Newcastle collapsed: they conceded two goals and were incapable of coping with Igor Thiago’s physical superiority in the air.

For now, Newcastle remain in the race in other competitions. Besides a defeat against Barcelona in their first match, the Magpies have won all their Champions League matches. Against Athletic Club (2-0), the team’s better stamina was sufficient to claim a victory. 

Nick Pope, Williams Osula, Harrison Ashby, Anthony Gordon, and Valentin Livramento will be sidelined through injuries. Yoane Wissa and Joelinton are awaiting medical clearance, while Dan Burn will serve his suspension.

Newcastle predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-3-3): Pope; Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Trippier; Tonali, Joelinton, Guimaraes; Barnes, Woltemade, Murphy.

Manchester City Team News

After a difficult start to the season in August with three defeats, Manchester City are back to their best. They have only lost one match in their last five Premier League games, a 0-1 defeat against Aston Villa. They are now second in the standings, four points behind Arsenal. 

Manchester City’s most important win of the season so far was the 3-0 victory against Liverpool. The Citizens dominated the match from start to finish, inspired by an omnipresent Nico González. 

His return has been key for coach Pep Guardiola, who has rebuilt his team around the Spaniard. Jeremy Doku was one of the other key players, who continued to lead the game from midfield as an outside forward.

In the Champions League, the Citizens remain undefeated with three victories and a draw. Although the 2-0 victory against Villarreal was not particularly impressive, the physical dominance and the Erling Haaland factor allowed the team to claim the three points. This result was followed by a 4-1 victory against Borussia Dortmund, with Rayan Cherki demonstrating why he is key to Guardiola’s plans. 

Mateo Kovačić will be sidelined through injury, while Rodri is awaiting medical clearance.

Manchester City predicted lineup vs Newcastle (4-3-3): Donnarumma; O’Reilly, Gvardiol, Dias, Nunes; Nico, Reijnders, Silva; Doku, Haaland, Foden.

Newcastle vs Manchester City Prediction, Odds

Manchester City’s team has never before focused so much on athleticism, pace and physicality. With players like Jérémy Doku, Erling Haaland and Nico González, the difference maker between the best and elite becomes the pace of individuals. 

For Newcastle, this should be good news. However, with the multiple injuries and a poor record in recent weeks, Manchester City are expected to take this one home. The Citizens haven’t lost to the Magpies in over five years when it comes to the Premier League record. 

Newcastle vs Manchester City Betting Tip

The reinvention of Jeremy Doku’s role, as a forward who increasingly starts in the center but drifts back to left wing, may be the difference maker. With Dan Burn serving his suspension, Doku can rely on O’Reilly to combine on the flanks. 

Due to injuries, Newcastle also lack defenders who can match Erling Haaland in duels in the penalty box. Considering the Magpies figure among the teams to have conceded more goals than they have scored, a heavy defeat is expected at St James.
