Man City vs Newcastle United F.C. Stats Ahead Of Saturday’s 3pm Clash
Man City host Newcastle United on Saturday on the back of their latest Champions League collapse.
Pep Guardiola’s side conceded two late goals at home against Real Madrid – meaning they have to overcome a 3-2 deficit at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, if they are to progress in the Champions League.
In the Premier League, they are also coming off a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal. Their fixture list doesn’t get much easier with Newcastle level on points in the Premier League table with City going into Saturday’s clash.
Newcastle might have two defeats in their last three league games. However, they have also won four on the bounce on the road in the top-flight.
With Manchester City perhaps having one eye on the second-leg of their Champions League play-off, their clash with Newcastle has all the makings of a cracker.

Can Newcastle End 25-Year Winless Run Away At Man City?
There is no better time for Newcastle to end their torrid run at the Etihad Stadium than on Saturday afternoon.
Man City are suffering their worst season in the Guardiola era with a battle to make the Champions League.
Newcastle have posed the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal problems this season and could have snatched a winner in the reverse fixture with Man City.
However, City have lost just one of their last 34 Premier League games with Newcastle. On top of that, Newcastle have lost their last 15 Premier League trips to the Etihad.
Their last victory away at Man City came under Sir Bobby Robson in the 2000-01 season.
All runs come to an end though and a win for the Magpies on Saturday would be huge for their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
