Man City vs Newcastle Tips
Tip 1
Saturday is set to be a busy afternoon for midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who could be tasked with containing the trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton, who’ve drawn a combined tally of 141 fouls in 24 matches.
Kovacic has met this line in seven of his 20 PL appearances this term, committing 2+ fouls in four of his last six as City’s struggles continue.
The selection also proved a winner in the reverse fixture at St James’ Park earlier in the campaign.
Tip 2
Gordon has nine goals to his name this season across 30 appearances for Newcastle.
The former Everton winger has built upon last season’s success, producing six of his strikes in the last 10 matches.
He netted in both League Cup semi-final legs with Arsenal, and also has goals against Tottenham, Villa, Bournemouth and City this campaign.
The home side have conceded in each of their last six, shipping 11 during this period and making it highly likely that the visitors will find the goal on Saturday afternoon.
Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Pep Guardiola suffered another damaging blemish on this season’s record, falling to a 3-2 defeat at the Etihad in their first Champions League knockout play-off first leg with Real Madrid.

Man City Predicted XI: Ortega; Nunes, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland.

The Toon will still be on cloud nine after booking their place in March’s EFL Cup final with Liverpool following a 4-0 aggregate victory over Arsenal last Wednesday, which was then proceeded by a 3-2 FA Cup fourth round win over Birmingham last Saturday.
Eddie Howe is definitely without Jamaal Lascelles and Harvey Barnes for this trip, while Anthony Gordon, Sven Botman and Joelinton will all underdog late fitness tests.
