Manchester City vs Newcastle Main Match Info
- Date and Time: Saturday, February 21, 2026, 03:00 PM EST

Manchester City vs Newcastle Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Manchester City to Win
- Odds: -205 (Tonybet)
Man City have dominated this fixture at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s men have convincingly won all of the last 12 home head-to-head meetings.
They’ve also collected 32 points from 13 Premier League games this season. Newcastle, meanwhile, have struggled on the road, picking up only 13 points in 13 away matches.
The Magpies ran riot in Wednesday’s 1-6 win over Qarabag. While that result is a huge confidence boost, it could also be physically demanding ahead of a weekend trip to the Etihad. City’s most recent cup action was a routine 2-0 FA Cup win over Salford last Saturday, so they should be fresher. As a result, the hosts are clear favourites to win.
Manchester City vs Newcastle Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Antoine Semenyo to Score
- Odds: +121 (Tonybet)
In his last five Premier League appearances, Semenyo has produced 10 shots, six on target, and 1.33 xG. His season-long profile is also strong, with 13 league goals from 6.64 xG.
Against City’s possession-heavy game, Newcastle’s wide defenders and centre-backs will spend a long time defending cutbacks, second balls, and back-post runs. That’s exactly the type of scenario where Semenyo can attack space and arrive in the box.
City should create enough chances, and Semenyo is capable of converting them. Given his speed and shooting abilities, the Ghanaian will likely score at least once.
Manchester City vs Newcastle Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Manchester City to Win + Antoine Semenyo to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +210 (Tonybet)
Manchester City to Win: City are unbeaten in their last seven matches. Newcastle have failed to claim even a draw in their last 12 away meetings with City. Another routine home victory looks likely.
Antoine Semenyo to Score: Antoine Semenyo recently scored and assisted against Fulham. Ranking third in the Premier League with 13 goals, the Ghanaian winger should get on the scoresheet.
Over 2.5 Goals: Four of the last seven H2H encounters have produced three goals or more, while Newcastle’s previous six outings have ended with over 2.5 goals. Given both clubs’ form, a high-scoring affair is likely.
Manchester City vs Newcastle Team News
Manchester City Team News
City have been in great form, winning each of their last four matches. With Arsenal recently dropping points against Wolves (2-2), the Cityzens now have a chance to potentially reduce the gap to two points.
The main question is Erling Haaland’s availability. He missed the FA Cup game against Salford after coming off at half-time against Fulham, and he’s still being monitored ahead of this clash against Newcastle.

If Haaland is ruled out, it changes City’s penalty-box threat. He’s still their dominant finisher and the team’s top league scorer (22), so the Cityzens’ attacking becomes a little less direct in the six-yard box.
Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačić, and Jeremy Doku remain sidelined. Savinho is also questionable.
Newcastle Team News
Newcastle’s best results this season have come in transition. Their most effective scripts involve quick counters from wide positions or fast break combinations into the penalty area.
That approach delivered a six-goal outburst in Azerbaijan and a 1-2 win at Tottenham. They press higher and more confidently at home, but on the road, they sit deeper. The team concede around 1.42 goals per game.

Anthony Gordon has been pivotal this season. While his Premier League tally is modest (three goals), his recent four-goal explosion in the Champions League should provide a huge confidence boost.
Captain Bruno Guimarães is ruled out until mid-April with a hamstring injury. Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schär, Lewis Miley, Sven Botman, and Yoane Wissa are also sidelined.
