Ahead of Saturday’s 3pm Premier League clash, we have the Man City vs Newcastle, preview, prediction, latest team news and confirmed lineups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man City Vs Newcastle Preview<\/h2>\n

Pep Guardiola<\/a> will be hoping for a strong reaction to Manchester City’s<\/a> latest Champions League<\/a> collapse against Real Madrid<\/a> when they play Newcastle on Saturday.<\/p>\n

City surrendered two late goals against Real Madrid<\/a> at the Etihad, meaning they have to go to the Santiago Bernabeu and overcome a 3-2 deficit if they are to reach the Champions League last-16.<\/p>\n

It has been a tough month for City who lost 5-1 last time out in the Premier League at Arsenal.<\/p>\n

They face another tricky opponent on Saturday in the form of Newcastle.<\/a> The Magpies are level on points with City in the Premier League<\/a> going into the game.<\/p>\n

\"Newcastle<\/p>\n

The Magpies lost their last two home games but won each of their last four league games on the road. The last time they won five in a row in the top-flight was back in October 1994.<\/p>\n

Both sides have their sights set on qualifying for the Champions League and are two points off Chelsea who occupy fourth-spot. Fifth though could still be good enough to qualify for Europe’s top competition.<\/p>\n

In the reverse fixture, the sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with goals from Josko Gvardiol and Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n

Man City realistically know they are out of the title fight given that they are 16 points behind leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Guardiola might have an eye on their trip to Real Madrid when it comes to team selection.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the game, the best\u00a0football betting sites<\/a> in the UK price Man City as the 9\/10 favourites. Newcastle can be backed at 12\/5 with the draw available at 10\/3.<\/p>\n

Last Time Newcastle Visited The Etihad<\/h2>\n

These two sides last met at the Etihad in March 2024 when Manchester City knocked Newcastle out of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva scored both goals – getting revenge on Newcastle who previously knocked City out of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Newcastle though took a point off City earlier this season and will be looking to capitalise on their recent misfortunes.<\/p>\n

Man City Vs Newcastle Team News<\/h2>\n

Manchester City suffered injury blows to Manuel Akanji and Jack Grealish<\/a> against Real Madrid and they are expected to miss the clash against Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Rico Lewis and Phil Foden<\/a> are the likely candidates to step in. Omar Marmoush will be pushing for a start as will Jeremy Doku who was on the bench last time out.<\/p>\n

Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> is perhaps the most likely player to be rested ahead of City’s trip to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon is expected to feature in some positive news for the visitors ahead of Saturday.<\/p>\n

Dan Burn and Harvey Barnes aren’t expected to be out as long as first feared but will miss this game. Joelinton, Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are also injured.<\/p>\n
