Newcastle v Manchester City Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Tuesday 29^th January 2019 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Tuesday night, Newcastle host Manchester City at St James Park in what could be a vital game at both ends of the Premier League table.

Newcastle are currently just two points above the relegation zone after a poor league campaign so far. Manchester City are currently four points behind league leaders Liverpool but could cup the gap to just a point with a win in this clash.

Newcastle suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Watford to exit the FA Cup on Saturday. However, their priority is staying in the top-flight. A run of just two wins in their last ten top-flight games has not helped their cause.

The Magpies fans will be hoping that a 3-0 win over Cardiff in their last league game will lift spirits ahead of this tough clash. The win over the Bluebirds ended a four-match winless run at home in the league for the north east side.

Top Football Bookmakers

Manchester City heads to St James Park in top form. The Citizens hammered Burnley 5-0 at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, which means that Pep Guardiola’s side has now won their last eight games in all competitions.

The reigning top-flight champions have also kept clean sheets in their last six matches, while also scoring at least two goals in each of their eight straight wins.

Prediction

Away win and/or over 2.5 goals
