Preamble
Hello. It’s been a while since Manchester City v Newcastle United was a mid-table clash. But City’s inert start to the season has left them in ninth, five points and three places above Newcastle. Most people will still see this match as a home banker. Newcastle have had some good results against City in recent years, but all of them have been at St James’ Park. They’ve lost their last 11 Premier League games at the Etihad, a run of results that includes a 6-1, two 5-0s and two 4-0s. It has to end sometime, but it’ll be a surprise if it happens tonight.
Kick off 8pm.
