Manchester City vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Manchester City lost their 100 percent record in the Premier League when being held to a 1-1 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers. They look to get back into winning ways as they host a struggling Newcastle United side. City last lost a Premier League game against Newcastle United in 2005, a total of 21 games. The last three home league games have seen Manchester City score 14 goals so Newcastle won't be looking forward too much to their trip to the Etihad. Only Manchester United have won an away league game at the Etihad in the last 33 games and so far this season the only home league game saw them beat Huddersfield 5-1.

There's plenty of reasons for Newcastle United fans to be upset at present. They still want to see the back of owner Mike Ashley who has again under-invested in the transfer market. Three league games have seen them earn just one point though it's not been the easiest of starts. Two home games have been against Tottenham and Chelsea and predictably ended in two defeats. Away from home they drew 0-0 at Cardiff City, a game they should have won but for a last minute penalty miss. United then went on to get knocked out by Championship side Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup, not the ideal preparation for a trip to the Premier League champions. Newcastle will play defensively again but the tip here is to go for City to get the win and be leading at both half and full time.
