Newcastle vs Man City preview

It’s been quite the week for Manchester City, who have the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the table before the rest of the league plays.

The injury to Rodri looks set to keep him out for the season and that itself is a seismic blow to the club.

But John Stones’ last-minute equaliser rightfully earned City a point against an Arsenal side who will have set deeper than most other sides to have visited the Etihad.

It should be a different game at St James’ Park, with Newcastle likely to try and take the game to them in spells.

There’s a strange atmosphere at the Toon at the minute, with some seemingly fractious relationships behind the scenes.

Last week’s defeat at Fulham wasn’t well received by the supporters, with some of the top stars coming in for criticism for their starts to the season, despite them sitting sixth after five games.

They couldn’t even eradicate that a few days later in the cup at Wimbledon when that game was called off, so there needs to be a reaction when the champions visit.

City came through their first game without Rodri with a 2-0 win over Watford, with 16-year-old Kaden Braithwaite starring.

Newcastle vs Man City betting tips and predictions

Extend the lead

There’s big decisions for Pep Guardiola to make in looking to replace Rodri.

But there is enough quality to choose from and they can capitalise on a Newcastle side not quite firing on all cylinders.

City have won 10 of the last 12 meetings and there’s no reason to suggest that will change here.

Sav-iour

Savinho’s assist for Erling Haaland’s opener showed what he’s capable of out on that City right.

Here, he’ll face Lloyd Kelly or Lewis Hall in the Toon full-back spot and he’s got to fancy his chances of getting off the mark here.
