Newcastle United oppose Manchester City for kudos and football prosperity.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Before that, Newcastle United had a home game versus Nottingham Forest which ended with a victory 2-0.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Newcastle have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 3 from 4 games. 2 defeats by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for Newcastle United after this match as they are travelling to Tranmere Rovers for a Carabao Cup game in only one day.

Foden, Gündoğan and Bruyne scored in City's previous match, the home game against AFC Bournemouth that ended 4-0. As you can tell from the results above, Manchester City was very dominant against AFC Bournemouth, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Foden, Gündoğan and Bruyne providing the goals.
