Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Newcastle vs Manchester City

Newcastle

Newcastle scored four points in the starting two rounds and this result can be called good for the team. This season, the Magpies clearly intend to perform better than in the previous one, and such a start should inspire optimism in the fans of the Eddie Howe team.

Ahead of Newcastle is the first serious test of the season, because the team will play against the reigning champions. The support of the fans will be an important factor for the hosts, but the key for the Magpies must be a reliable and disciplined game at home.

Manchester City

Manchester City from the very first rounds began to defend their championship title, having convincingly dealt with West Ham and Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola's team traditionally attacks a lot, scores a lot and so far everything looks like the Citizens will be the main favorites for the league title.

In the new match, the guests will probably have to make a little more effort for a winning result, because Manchester City will play away against a strong and uncompromising opponent. It is possible that in such a game the Spanish mentor of the Citizens will use an active rotation of the roster.
