Newcastle vs Manchester City prediction, odds and preview

Newcastle host Manchester City at St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon, in what is expected to be an enthralling Premier League fixture.

The hosts sit in ninth place on the league standings, while the Cityzens lie in third place ahead of this fixture.

Both sides thumped Sunderland and Huddersfield in the FA Cup third round last weekend.

Nevertheless, Pep Guardiola’s side looks like favourites moving into this clash with three wins and a draw in their last five matches against the Magpies, suffering only one defeat in the period.

The hosts will be without Joelinton for this clash, as the Brazilian sustained a thigh injury in last weekend’s clash with Sunderland.

Meanwhile, the visitors now have Kevin De Bryne and Jeremy Doku back from injury for this clash.

The match comes off at 5:30 pm
