Match predictions, preview & predicted lineups
Newcastle suffered their first defeat of their season last weekend when they traveled to London to face Fulham. It was a very below-par performance from Eddie Howe’s side as they struggled to deal with Fulham’s attacking players throughout the match.
It doesn’t get any easier for the home side when they face Man City this weekend, so the manager may opt to reshuffle the pack to ensure his side are harder to break down. Expect changes at full-back to help combat some of City’s dangerous wide players.
Pep Guardiola and his team managed to hold on to their unbeaten record thanks to a late John Stones goal against Arsenal in a game packed with controversy which saw City eventually break down their rival’s ten-man defensive wall.
There was a huge blow for City as key midfielder Rodri was forced off the field with a knee injury, and it has now been confirmed that the player will be out for a lengthy period while he recovers. Mateo Kovacic will likely be the man to fill in for Rodri when they face Newcastle on Saturday. The game will likely come too soon for Kevin de Bruyne who still hasn’t returned to training.
We predict an away win for Manchester City.
Predicted lineups:
Newcastle: Pope, Hall, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Joelinton, Longstaff, Bruno G, Gordon, Barnes, Isak
Man City: Ederson, Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Bernardo, Savinho, Foden, Kovacic, Doku, Haaland
