This match also comes out as an opportunity for them to regain their momentum, as they have been historically strong over Newcastle in the Premier League. Along with that, the team also takes home ground advantage, which could give them an edge in the game. Therefore, Manchester City, with an odds of 1.79, is likely to come out victorious in their upcoming match against Newcastle United, which has an odds of 3.95.

Manchester City has shown some stellar performances in the current season, being in the 5th spot in the tournament standings. They have secured 12 wins and 7 losses in the tournament till now, having 41 points in the season. Their attacking side has been commendable, scoring 48 goals in 24 matches, which also puts their goal-per-match rate at 2, and they have also made 402 shots, out of which 145 were on target. Along with that, the team has also managed to score one penalty and has also created 61 big chances in the season. Their defence has also been good, conceding 35 goals with the goals conceded per match rate at 1.46, with 5 clean sheets and 62 saves in the current season.

Erling Haaland has been one of the key performers for Manchester City, having scored 19 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances. In the upcoming match against Newcastle United, he will be having the company of other players like Jérémy Doku, with 3 goals and 4 assists in 15 appearances, Phil Foden, with 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances, Bernardo Silva, with 2 goals and 4 assists in 23 appearances, Mateo Kovacic, with 4 goals and one assist in 20 appearances, Kevin de Bruyne, with 2 goals and 6 assists in 17 appearances, and Josko Gvardiol, with 5 goals in 23 appearances. For goalkeeping, the team will have the likes of Stefan Ortega, with 2 clean sheets and 26 saves in 9 appearances, and Ederson, with 3 clean sheets and 36 saves in 15 appearances.

With such a formidable line-up prepared for the upcoming match, Manchester City holds the upper hand against Newcastle United. Their attack could be enough to provide an upper hand to the team, and with the home-ground advantage, their defence will also be looking forward to capitalizing. In their last five matches, the team has been able to score a combined total of 16 goals while conceding just 9 goals in these games. They will need some improvements in the defence, as the team holds just 5 clean sheets in the current season. Out of these, one clean sheet came in their last five matches, which shows that Newcastle United may not face challenges while scoring in the next game. Thus, it is likely that Manchester City will come out victorious against Newcastle United by a margin of at least one goal, where a clean sheet seems impossible.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, has performed almost the same as Manchester City in the current season. But they stand just one spot behind City, with the same number of points, as they have also grabbed 12 wins and 7 losses in 24 matches. The major reason behind the same is that the team has scored fewer goals as compared to them. In their last five matches, they have scored a combined total of 10 goals while conceding just 8 goals. They have been able to score 42 goals this season, with the goal-per-match rate being at 1.75, and have made 339 shots, out of which 114 were on target. Also, they have scored 2 penalties while managing to create 53 big chances. Their defence has been commendable, conceding just 29 goals with the goals conceded per match rate at 1.21, with 8 clean sheets and 80 saves this season.

For Newcastle United, Alexander Isak has been the star striker with 17 goals and 5 assists in 22 appearances. He will be heading to the next game with players like Anthony Gordon, with 6 goals and 5 assists in 23 appearances, Joelinton, with 4 goals and one assist in 23 appearances, Harvey Barnes, with 5 goals and one assist in 20 appearances, Jacob Murphy, with 4 goals and 8 assists in 21 appearances, and Bruno Guimarães, with 2 goals and 6 assists in 24 appearances. In goalkeeping, they have dominant players like Martin Dúbravka, with 5 clean sheets and 26 saves in 9 appearances, and Nick Pope, with 3 clean sheets and 54 saves in 15 appearances.

Currently, Joelinton from Newcastle United is close to receiving a two-match suspension, as he is just one yellow card away from the same. The team may have to compromise with his playtime in the upcoming match against Manchester City. Except for him, no other player from both teams is close to receiving a two-match suspension. Therefore, it is likely for Newcastle United to receive at least two yellow cards in the upcoming match against Manchester City.
