The stage is set for a thrilling Premier League clash as Manchester City hosts Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium. With Manchester City sitting second in the league table with 53 points and Newcastle in tenth with 36 points, both teams have much at stake.
City, under Pep Guardiola, are in excellent form, boasting a four-game winning streak. However, they face injury woes, missing key players like Erling Haaland and Josko Gvardiol. Newcastle, led by Eddie Howe, come into this match with back-to-back wins but have struggled defensively, failing to keep clean sheets in their last five games.
Expect an intense battle, influenced by overcast clouds and a light breeze. Given City’s form and home advantage, they are the bookmaker’s favorite, but Newcastle’s recent resurgence adds an element of unpredictability.
