Newcastle vs Man City

St James' Park welcomes City ready to avenge last season's late 5-0 trashing at the Etihad.

But they have the same dream—and that is because it was just a dream back in the day—City had a few years ago when they were just another promoted second-level side. [West Ham](https://bracethehammer.sbnation.com/) and Bournemouth in the past two weeks of play. United got the better of City the next January and drew against the Sky Blue the following November, but once the decade turned to the dreaded 20s it was over for Newcastle, which have now strung six consecutive defeats against Guardiola’s team while scoring three goals (all in the same game) against Manchester’s 22. The Magpies have put up an embarrassing 1-1-7 record against Manchester City in the past four seasons going back to the first match in that span taking place on Sep. The critics might be harsh here and there, but the truth is that the track record isn’t anything for Howe to call home proud about. Howe’s sides have faced a member of the Big Six in 75 total matches and all they did was accruing a rather paltry 10 victories (13.3 W%) and an average of 0.51 PPM. They have added (present and future) key players to the squad, but they definitely don’t boast the likes of Kevin De Bruyne or Erling Haaland. It’s not that the Magpies can complain, though, as they are a top-five side entering the third matchday of the season and are tied at four points apiece with five other clubs in the baby-season table. At least Newcastle can say they have allowed the same tally themselves, having yet to get a ball inside their net with to games already in the book. More concerning for the Geordie Faithful: 12 games, 12 losses for Howe against Man. That doesn’t take from the massive task at hand and coming to St James Park for the Geordie Lads to handle this Sunday. City since the day he decided to start his managerial career.

Goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and a Jefferson Lerma own goal saw Man City beat Bournemouth 4-0 at the Etihad last weekend, sending Pep ...

FIFA 22 predicts that despite taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, Newcastle could prove a difficult opponent to keep out, with Guardiola's side edging past the Magpies and winning 2-1. Foden squared the ball back to Alvarez, and the substitute drilled a fantastic shot with his left foot into the bottom corner for 2-0. Newcastle failed to track the German's run, and Gundogan fired the ball into the top corner with a first-time effort. Newcastle came out the second half a much better team, and Joe Willock pulled a goal back on 70 minutes with a brilliant long-range effort. City are yet to concede a goal in their opening two games and they face the only other side yet to concede in the league this season, Newcastle. City beat the Magpies with an aggregate score of 9-0 last season, and the Premier League champions will be hoping for a similar result on Sunday.

Manchester City have started their title defence with two wins out of two. Eddie Howe will hope Newcastle can give Pep Guardiola's side their biggest test ...

1hr to kickoff: Guardiola hands Bernardo Silva his first start of the season in the City front three alongside Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. 40 mins to kickoff: Silva thrived in midfield last season and only tended to feature in the forward line as a false nine. 30 mins to kickoff: Hmmm, a possible injury concern for City in the warmup. 1st minute: Stones is harrassed into giving a throw-in away and Newcastle continue the attack by winning a corner. There'll be a change in the City back four with Ake hobbling off and Ruben Dias entering the fray. City have the ball at the back and Guardiola's men could do with one of their customary spells of possession. There'll be more than the allocated five minutes and it promises to be a test for the reshaped Newcastle defence. Silva arrows a dangerous pass across his own half and Rodri has to retrieve the situation. 78th minute: City shuffled the ball around the Newcastle box, ending with a prodded half chance for Haaland. Looking at the results some of their fellow Premier League heavyweights have endured in August, City might be very happy to have escaped with a draw. By the time Nick Pope made the first of a catalogue of fine saves to thwart De Bruyne with his boots, it looked like City might run away with things. Trippier was then at the centre of drama when he was red-carded for a challenge on De Bruyne, before VAR downgraded it to a yellow.

MANCHESTER CITY will be eager to build on their 100% start to the 2022/23 Premier League season in Newcastle today.The Citizen's recently brushed asid.

I think what they have done Newcastle is because they believe it's the best. I have never bought a player, I have never sold a player. You don't have to ask me I don't know.

Fitness doubts around Emil Krafth and Matt Targett give Howe decisions to make at full-back, where Kieran Trippier's versatility could see him fielded at left-back. Fresh from their Saudi takeover, Newcastle were beaten 4-0 and 5-0 by City last season but the optimism and momentum around Eddie Howe’s side continues to build. After a sensible rather than outlandish summer in the transfer market, they can provide the champions with their toughest test of the season so far.
