Manchester City Preview – Can Man City make Newcastle pay?
Despite losing last time out in the Premier League following a dismal 1-0 defeat down on the south coast away at Southampton, Manchester City have nevertheless nailed down 2nd place behind the title winners, Liverpool, after a lengthy battle with Leicester City for supremacy.
Manchester City will probably be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Etihad Stadium for this upcoming clash against Newcastle United following recent back-to-back defeats on the road at Chelsea and Southampton, especially as City have won their last four matches at home on the trot – and all to nil.
Victories over West Ham 2-0, Arsenal 3-0, Burnley 5-0 and most impressive of all, a 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool, mean that City have asserted their authority at home but they’ve scored under three goals in 9 of their 16 home matches to date, along with scoring 3 goals against Newcastle just once in the previous seven encounters against The Magpies.
Newcastle Utd Preview – Can Newcastle avoid defeat at Etihad Stadium?
Newcastle United extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six matches under manager, Steve Bruce, who has guided The Magpies to not only top flight safety, but also into 12th place on the Premier League ladder as they look to continue their solid sequence of results away at Manchester City on Wednesday night.
Obviously, this upcoming fixture is a tough one, but having suffered just two defeats from their previous 12 matches overall, the visitors may well fancy their chances of walking away with a possible point from this encounter.
In addition, Newcastle have won their last two matches away from home on the trot with wins at Southampton 1-0 and Bournemouth 4-1 and they’ve conceded three goals or more in just five of their 16 away matches within an overall record of 5-2-9 17/30, so they stand a decent chance of keeping the scoreline close at least.
