Man City vs Newcastle: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Following Wednesday night’s dramatic loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola knows any slip-up in the next four games could prove fatal in the title race and leave him empty-handed for the first time since the summer of 2017.

City do boast a fantastic record against Newcastle on home soil but Eddie Howe’s side are one of the Premier League’s form teams and will hope to lay a marker down ahead of next season, when they could be challenging further up the table.

Guardiola has insisted little has changed in a Premier League context for City, although it’s hard to imagine that really is the case. Anything other than a win here and the inquest really would start, especially with Liverpool dropping points against Tottenham at Anfield last night.
