Manchester City, Recent FormIn their last match Manchester City enforced their superiority over Bournemouth with a 4-1 away win. They came away from that fixture with 66% of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Bournemouth managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Pep Guardiola will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 5 goals during those same matches. It's now been 26 games since they failed to score at home. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Guardiola will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. They will be very happy with their early form at home this season, winning 10 of their 12 league games.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 27 goals in Manchester City's 25 league games this season.
Newcastle United, Recent FormThe Newcastle United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Liverpool recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 13 attempts and 7 on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. With 12 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
There will be mixed feelings from The Magpies, having been undefeated in their last 8 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
On an individual basis, Miguel Almirón will be looking to cause Manchester City some problems having scored 4 goals in Newcastle United's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 3-3 draw.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at The Etihad Stadium, The Magpies have been unable to break through the Man City defence and find the back of the net. Man City will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 28 encounters with The Magpies. We have seen plenty of goals from The Citizens when they play at home against Newcastle. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 12 goals, which is an average of 4 goals per game.

Riyad Mahrez has scored in each of Man City's last 2 league games against Newcastle.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kevin De Bruyne (Illness), Aymeric Laporte (Fever) and John Stones (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Eddie Howe has a number of injury concerns in his Newcastle squad to contend with: Joelinton Apolinário Lima (Thigh), Emil Krafth (Ligament), Matt Targett (Foot) and Joe Willock (Thigh)
