Newcastle Gunning at Home

Newcastle have the third best home record in the Premier League this season. They have won eight of their opening 10 matches, having lost twice. The first loss was against a ten-man Liverpool, who currently lead the Premier League table. The second loss of the season was a massive shock, having been defeated by Nottingham Forest in their last home game. Forest won the match 3-1, with former Newcastle striker Chris Wood scoring a hattrick to help his new team come from behind.

In the build-up to this match, Newcastle have recorded several impressive wins at home this season. They have defeated Manchester United at home, Arsenal, Aston Villa and absolutely smashed Chelsea. Should the Magpies be able to keep a strong position in the league, they will have to be very reliant on their success at home. The atmosphere at St James’ Park is second to none, especially when the reigning champions come to town.

Manchester City Need to Win

Despite singing the praises of Manchester City last season, this year they have been less convincing. The Citizens won a historic treble last season, having demolished city-rivals United in the FA Cup final and Inter Milan in the Champions League final. This year, City have not hit the ground running and are at a lower expectation than their usual self. However, every football fan that has been watching them for the past ten years knows that they can just switch it on, typically during the second half of the season.

Although City have had their fair share of criticism this season, the champions are still the top away side in the league. City have won six out of 10 away games, drawn once and lost three times. Their away wins include a 3-0 demolition of Manchester United and a 3-1 victory over West Ham. However, they have also lost their heads a few times. Both Aston Villa and Arsenal defeated Manchester City 1-0 whilst Wolves came back from behind in the dying stages of their match to win 2-1 at home. The only draw City have had away from home was a 4-4 tie with Chelsea. To date, it was arguably the most exciting game of the season so far.

Players to Watch

Building up to the game, the anticipation is high. Both Newcastle and Manchester City have their fair share of players that are likely to score, be carded, assist and so on. To help make things a little easier, we have put together our predictions of who is likely to do what.

Newcastle

The Magpies have an exceptional talent in Anthony Gordon. The young Scouser transferred to Newcastle last season and has scored several important goals for the team already. Chances are, if Newcastle are going to score, he will be the scorer.

The player with the most assists for Newcastle is Kieran Trippier, who has seven in the Premier League. He could be a player to grab another assist. Likewise, he could also be a player to be carded, having already been booked 5 times this season.

Manchester City

The obvious pick for scoring a goal is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian forward has been continuing his impressive form last season into this year, scoring a total of 14 goals thus far. Haaland scoring against Newcastle would not be a shock to anyone, considering he scores against practically every team he comes up against. The player to look for an assist is Kevin de Bruyne. He was seen training recently and even made an appearance in the FA Cup game this past week. De Bruyne has talented feet and a keen eye for an assist. The expected player to be carded is Rodri, who sits at the heart of the midfield.
