Newcastle United vs Manchester City. Shape of the Teams

On January 13, an intriguing clash is set to unfold at St. James’ Park, where Newcastle will play host to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the 21st fixture of the English Premier League. 

This marks Newcastle’s first PL game following the brief winter break. The Magpies, amid a challenging period, have bagged just three wins in their last ten matches. 

Their victories, noteworthy against Manchester United, Fulham and Sunderland in the FA Cup, were hard-fought. However, a spate of injuries has taken its toll, leaving the squad visibly fatigued after a gruelling sequence of games.

Meanwhile, the Cityzens, currently perched third in the Premier League table with 40 points, are hot on the heels of league leaders Liverpool, trailing by five points but with a game in hand.

Guardiola’s squad has shown formidable form in their last 10 games, securing seven victories, drawing twice and succumbing to just a single loss against Aston Villa. 

Despite being the favourites for this matchup, the challenge of playing at Newcastle’s fortress, St. James’ Park, should not be underestimated. Known for its raucous atmosphere and passionate supporters, it’s a venue that often levels the playing field, turning matches into unpredictable battles.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Prediction, Odds

Man City are gearing up for their upcoming showdown against Newcastle in a way better condition. Their recent performances have been nothing short of powerful.  

Over the last five games, Guardiola’s charges have been scoring at a blistering pace, averaging 3.4 goals every 90 minutes. Even in the absence of star striker Erling Haaland, Julián Álvarez has seamlessly stepped into the role, netting five goals in just four matches, showcasing his prowess as the team’s leading frontman.

Adding to City’s arsenal is the long-awaited return of Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian magician, absent since August, is a game-changing addition for the Cityzens.

His comeback was marked by an immediate impact, providing a masterful assist against Huddersfield that set up Jeremy Doku for the team’s fifth goal. De Bruyne’s vision and creativity in midfield are set to add another dimension to City’s already formidable attack.

Manchester City, buoyed by their impressive recent form, including a 5-0 thrashing of Huddersfield in the FA Cup, have turned their fortunes around with a string of dominant performances.

The depth of Guardiola’s squad is evident, with players like Phil Foden stepping up – he has scored four goals in his last four matches. Despite some fitness concerns, key players like Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips might be available for selection, further strengthening City’s lineup.

On the other side, Newcastle faces a daunting challenge. Their current form, coupled with a lengthy injury list that includes Joe Willock, Callum Wilson, and potentially Joelinton, paints a grim picture for the Magpies. The odds seem stacked against them in snatching points from this encounter. 

Given the circumstances, Manchester City appears poised to secure another victory, continuing their assertive march in the Premier League.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Betting Tip

Man City will be determined to seek revenge following the latest loss against the Magpies. In their last encounter,  the Cityzens’ performance was lacklustre throughout the whole match, failing to carve out significant scoring opportunities.

But this time, expectations are different. There’s a strong belief that Guardiola’s men will come out swinging, adopting an offensive stance right from the whistle. 

On the other hand, Newcastle embodies passion and resilience, especially when playing at the heart of St. James’ Park. With the roar of their loyal fans behind them, the Magpies are likely to be brimming with motivation, eyeing at least a goal against the formidable City side. 

Alexander Isak, despite grappling with injuries, remains a formidable threat upfront. As the club’s top scorer with nine goals, his prowess and sharpness in front of the goal keep him among the most lethal forwards in the English Premier League.
