Struggling Newcastle United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Manchester City in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Newcastle United have the fewest clean sheets (1) at home in Premier League
- Manchester City have the most scored goals (72) in Premier League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Newcastle are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions.
Newcastle United form and stats
Newcastle United, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) at home in Premier League, have collected 20 points from their Premier League home games so far after 5-5-7.
A strong away win for Newcastle against Leicester City the last match, as Paul Dummett, Joseph Willock and Callum Wilson (2) were on target. Sensational by Newcastle last match, beating Leicester City away as big underdogs. Ahead of that match, Newcastle lost 0-2 at home to Arsenal.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Martin Dúbravka loved the game against Leicester City. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 4-2 victory.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Manchester City to win. Let's see if Newcastle United are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: three games found revealing zero Newcastle United wins, two draws and one defeat.
Newcastle United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 17 games. Newcastle United have conceded 29 from these games.
Manchester City form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (72) in Premier League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 13 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League. Manchester City are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played twelve in a row without losing.
Manchester City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Chelsea proved too strong as Manchester City slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Etihad Stadium. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against PSG in the Champions League.
Late heartbreak for City in the Chelsea match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
As mentioned earlier, City will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 18 wins (13 by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and zero surprising defeats.
Manchester City has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Brighton & Hove Albion in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, City are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on City as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Manchester City - Newcastle 2-0 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Newcastle United, two draws and seven wins for Manchester City. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
