Manchester City vs Newcastle United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Cityzens to battle the Magpies in the Premier League.

Manchester City are ready to host Newcastle United on matchday 25 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The defending champions are not doing well looking at their title defence status. The Cityzens are in the fifth spot in the league standings as they have only been able to win 50 per cent of their matches played this season in the Premier League. Newcastle United have the same points but are a spot below City because of the goal difference.

Pep Guardiola’s men will be low on confidence as they lost their previous Premier League and Champions League outings against Arsenal and Real Madrid respectively. The Magpies will not be an easy target to take on. The Cityzens will be trying for those three crucial points but it should be a tough affair for them even at home.

Newcastle United will be coming in with some confidence as they knocked out Arsenal from the Carabao Cup and later defeated Birmingham City in the FA Cup fourth-round fixture. However, Eddie Howe’s men tasted a defeat in their previous Premier League outing and that too at their home. The Magpies will be playing away from home and will look for a chance to take down Pep Guardiola’s Man City.

Players to Watch

Erling Haaland (Man City)

The Norway national football team striker is coming in after scoring a brace for Manchester City in their previous fixture. It was a tough match against Real Madrid and Erling Haaland was the only goal-scorer from Man City. He is also in the PL Golden Boot race alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Haaland is going to play a crucial role for the Cityzens once again. With his goal-scoring abilities he can be very lethal to the opponent’s defence.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

Hailing from Sweden, Alexander Isak is having one of the best seasons. He has scored a total of 17 goals and has come up with five assists in 22 league games so far. Isak is going strong and might just enter the top two spots in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. Newcastle United will rely on Alexander Isak as he can be a difference-maker for them against the Cityzens.
