Two of the top five in the Premier League square off in the early game on Saturday. It will be vital that Manchester City pick up maximum points at the Etihad, as Arsenal moved five points clear with victory in their previous match. However, Newcastle will also be desperate for the points, as they have dropped to fifth in the Premier League standings.
Before Betting On Man City vs Newcastle
This looks set to be a crucial game in the Premier League this weekend for both Manchester City and Newcastle. The hosts come into the match trailing Arsenal by five points in the Premier League standings, but they have picked up three victories from their previous four matches. City remain in the hunt for a treble this term, but it’s very much advantage Arsenal in the race for the title.
City’s home record has been strong throughout the season, as they have picked up 14 wins from 16 matches at the Etihad. They also boast an extremely dominant record against the Magpies, as they have picked up 13 consecutive home wins against their opponents this weekend. City’s forward line has also been very strong, as they have scored in each of their previous 28 matches against Newcastle.
Newcastle’s away misery against City means that it may be hard to see them picking up maximum points at the Etihad this weekend. However, they did pick up a 3-3 draw against this weekend’s rivals in the previous meeting between the sides this season. On Saturday, they will be looking to go unbeaten against City in a single season for the first time since 2004-05.
Newcastle’s away record would give them hope this weekend, as they are unbeaten in their last eight matches away from home. They have won four games over that period, and have been held to four draws. However, the Magpies come into this fixture without a win in their previous four league matches, including a defeat against Liverpool in their most recent match.
