Match Preview:
Newcastle entered the final international break of 2025 on a sour note after they suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats away against West Ham United and Brentford, losing 3-1 to the latter a fortnight ago despite taking an early lead through Harvey Barnes.

After securing a top-five finish last season, the Magpies have posted just three win in their opening 11 league matches (D3 L5) this term and they currently sit 14th in the table, only two points above the relegation zone and seven points behind rivals Sunderland in fourth spot.

Head coach Eddie Howe, who retains the full backing of Newcastle’s hierarchy, is “looking for a big response” during a “relentless” fixture schedule over the next few months and he believes that his Magpies side “cannot allow any sort of negative trend to continue” if they wish to compete higher up the table this season.

Man City suffered two defeats in their first three Premier League matches this season (W1), but that shaky start is now a distant memory for Pep Guardiola and co, who have shown clear signs of returning to their best after winning 11 of their last 14 games in all competitions, including six of their last eight in the top flight.

The Citizens sent out a statement to the rest of the Premier League - Arsenal in particular - with an eye-catching 3-0 home victory over reigning champions Liverpool last time out. That result in Guardiola's 1,000th game as a manager helped City climb up to second place in the table and move to within four points of the Gunners, who face North London rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

Man City boast the best home record in the top flight this term, having accumulated 15 points from six matches (W5 L1), but they have only triumphed in two of their opening five league matches on the road (D1 L2), most recently losing 1-0 at Aston Villa at the end of October.

Match Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Manchester City
Newcastle are a different animal when playing in front of a fired-up St James’ Park crowd and have impressed on home soil in recent weeks, but their resolve will be tested against a red-hot Man City side boasting arguably the deadliest striker on the planet in Haaland, who will be as hungry as ever to score his 100th Premier League goal.

Both teams will back themselves to claim a positive result, but it is difficult to ignore Man City’s strong record against Newcastle and their recent results in the top flight. Guardiola’s men should have enough to get the job done here.
