Newcastle vs Man City Tips
Tip 1
Man of the moment Harvey Barnes has produced the goods in three consecutive matches, producing nine efforts, four of which have found the target, scoring three goals.
Like Anthony Gordon last season, Barnes was in dire need of an injury-free run in the team to get his feet under the table which it looks exactly like he has managed to do.
Rodri’s injury will have buoyed Newcastle into believing they can achieve a result against the reigning champions, causing Howe to likely loosen the shackles on his forward three at St James’ Park this weekend.
Tip 2
Although 9/4 isn’t the most glamorous price for a player to be carded, Joelinton’s tally of three bookings in just five matches suggests there’s still some value to squeeze out of these odds.
The Brazilian midfielder has made more than double the number of fouls (13) than the next closest player between these two teams – Dan Burn (6) – with nine of these occurring on home soil.
Again, in Rodri’s absence, the midfield battle is Newcastle’s for the taking, meaning the Magpies have to go for the jugular in the middle of the park – something Joelinton is aptly capable of.
Newcastle Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Toon suffered their first defeat of the season last time out, sinking to a 3-1 defeat at Craven Cottage in a somewhat alarming defensive display.
Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley and Sven Botman all remain absent for Manchester City’s visit.
Newcastle Predicted XI: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Gordon, Isak, Barnes.
Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
While there were plenty of talking points from their thrilling 2-2 draw with title contenders Arsenal, City must feel frustrated with themselves not to have put a 10-man side to the sword, especially given their second half dominance.
The major fallout from last Sunday was the injury to lynchpin Rodri, who is likely to have had his season ended after suffering knee ligament damage. Oscar Bobb, Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne are an additional trio who will miss the visit to Tyneside.
Man City Predicted XI: Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Lewis, Kovacic; Savinho, Bernardo, Gundogan, Doku; Haaland.
