Newcastle vs Manchester City prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-21 17:30.
[p]Manchester City continue their attempt to hunt down Arsenal at the Premier League summit when they face a Newcastle side looking to extend their winning streak at home. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After posting their worst start to a top-flight season under Eddie Howe (W3, D3, L5), Newcastle are nervously looking over their shoulder towards the drop rather than at the European places. A return to home comforts should offer some inspiration after they were downed 3-1 on the road by Brentford prior to the international break, with all three of their league wins this term coming at home. In all competitions, Howe’s men have won five successive games at St. James’ Park, affording them a shot at winning six such games in a row for the first time since December 2022. [/p]
[p]Manchester City laid down a huge marker in the Premier League title race by beating reigning champions Liverpool 3-0 before the break. City have now won four games in a row in all competitions, although the last three of those came on home soil, with City’s away league form this season looking rather indifferent (W2, D1, L2). Both wins did at least come against sides who start this round in the bottom half alongside Newcastle, and with City’s next eight league games all against teams who are either newly-promoted or ranked tenth or lower pre-round, they have a real chance to up the ante on Arsenal at the summit. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Newcastle United have won just one of their last 35 Premier League meetings with Manchester City (D6, L28). Toon boss Eddie Howe is winless in 18 Premier League meetings with Man City (D2, L16) – the most a manager has faced an opponent in the competition without ever winning! [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

A Jérémy Doku goal is typically a good omen for City, who have won on 15 of his 16 scoring appearances for the club, including against Liverpool in their last outing. [/p]
[p]Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, Nick Pope, Anthony Gordon and Joelinton all missed internationals due to injury, while Dan Burn is suspended here. Rodri could make his return from injury for City. [/p]
