Newcastle
The team is doing well in the Champions League, but they are struggling in the Premier League. After 11 rounds, the club is in 14th place in the standings and is just two points away from the relegation zone. Eddie Howe's side lost their last two Premier League matches away, both against teams from the lower half of the table. They suffered defeats to West Ham and Brentford, both by a score of 1-3. Additionally, the team averages only one goal per match, with only three other teams having worse records in the league.
- Both teams scored, and there were at least 3 goals in Newcastle's last four league matches.
- Newcastle has not lost in 10 of their last 13 Premier League matches (3 draws and 7 losses).

Predicted lineup for Newcastle (4-3-3)
Nick Pope – Kieran Trippier, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Dan Burn – Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton – Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Nick Woltemade.
Due to injuries, defender Valentino Livramento and forward Yoan Wissa might miss the match. Defender Dan Burn is suspended.

Newcastle vs. Manchester City: Match Prediction
A very intriguing match is set to take place at St. James' Park. The opponents are in different forms and at opposite ends of the table, yet both represent the Premier League in the Champions League. Newcastle may be struggling domestically, but they are formidable at home. They have managed to score in 17 of their last 18 home league matches, hitting at least two goals in 13 of these games.
I expect the hosts to be productive in this game, with at least 3 goals being scored. Such a number of goals has been seen in 14 of Newcastle's last 18 home Premier League matches. I also anticipate goals from the Citizens, who have scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings at this stadium in the league.
My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals
