Newcastle United – Manchester City

In Newcastle, fans will see goals from both the guests and the hosts.

Manchester City experienced the most challenging performance crisis in the past few decades last season. As a result, the "Citizens" failed to win any titles for the first time in a long while. However, the club's management showed serious composure and entrusted Pep Guardiola with rectifying the situation. All rumors about the departure of the Spanish coach remained just rumors. In November 2025, Manchester City is playing without the pressure of last year, and psychological problems are no longer being noted. The Manchester team is gaining new leaders, with Savinho being one of them, while Haaland continues to shine in attack. Currently, Manchester City is considered the second contender for the championship title, but if Arsenal makes a couple of missteps, Guardiola's team will believe even more in their abilities and will likely reach the level that allowed them to win the Champions League two and a half years ago. Newcastle did not experience any crisis periods last season, allowing this club to represent England in the elite European tournament. However, the "Magpies" are struggling considerably this season, as evidenced by their recent "fresh" November losses to Brentford and West Ham. Bookmakers have named the guests as the favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 2.03 for their victory. Despite the increasing losses of the "Magpies," it is worth noting that these occur predominantly away from home. At their arena, Newcastle usually wins. The exceptions were matches against the leaders of national and European football: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Barcelona. An important fact about the mentioned losses of Newcastle is that in all home matches against these opponents, the "Magpies" scored at least once. It is highly likely that Manchester City will not manage to keep a clean sheet either. The last time Guardiola's team left Newcastle without conceding a goal was in 2021, but that season the "Magpies" finished only in eleventh place. Now, the ambitions of Howe's team are much higher than their current standings in the Premier League, so a goals exchange can be expected in the upcoming match. There are no serious doubts about the guests scoring. Manchester City is the most prolific team in the league.
