Man City vs Newcastle

The league leaders continue their search for a second-consecutive championship when they meet with Newcastle on Sunday.

They are currently 10th in the league tables, far from their positioning earlier in 2022, where they were hovering around relegation territory. ManCity’s attack has had an easy time against a couple of the lower clubs in the league, scoring nine goals over wins against Watford and Leeds United. They come into Sunday on an eight-match unbeaten streak, dating back to their loss to Tottenham in mid-Feburary going 7-0-1 during that span. City is looking to become the first club in the EPL to win back-to-back league titles since they achieved the feat back in 2018 and 2019.

Pep Guardiola's side are looking to bounce back from the crushing Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid midweek.

Newcastle United have taken only two points here in 16 previous visits, but can they throw a spanner in the works today? Dubravka never troubled in the visitors’ goal. Allan-Saint Maximin breaks free on the right-hand side after a swift counter-attack but his ball across towards Miguel Almiron is blocked. Bruno Guimaraes is looking to break forward whenever he picks up the ball in a central area. The moment we win the Champions League it will be because of the money we spend. Pep Guardiola’s side were left devastated after Real Madrid’s shocking late comeback at the Bernabeu to eliminate them from the Champions League in the semi-finals midweek, but the Cityzens have been gifted a boost by rivals Liverpool, who slipped up at home to Tottenham, droping two precious points in the 1-1 draw to hand them the initiative in the title race.

Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Anfield on Saturday means a win for Pep Guardiola's men will put them three points clear with three games to play. The champions looking to get out of the blocks quickly. It's party time up in the north east, with relegation fears long gone and a bright future in prospect under Eddie Howe. 2nd minute: Nervous moments there for the hosts as Laporte mistakenly boots the ball at Gundogan, who then loses his footing to be disposessed on halfway. Sterling plays in his teammate to draw a sharp save from Dubravka at his near post. Ederson then nearly made a complete hash of the resulting free-kick. Guardiola flaps his arms in a sort of Big Bird impression. Dias lumps a ball in Sterling's general direction and Newcastle come away with it. Anyway, despite those desperate odds, he City midfielder gamely keeps up with the flying winger, who runs out of pitch and falls over.

That goal means that City are now ahead of Liverpool in terms of goal difference - could that prove crucial come 22 May?

Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and Fabian Schar are on the bench after recent injuries. Luckily, for City, the attempt is straight at Ederson in the hosts' goal. They look composed with the ball and organised without it. Here's a stat - Newcastle have enjoyed 57 per cent possession to City's 43 per cent. The wing back heads it first time across goal and Sterling meets it with his head to give Dubravka no chance in the Newcastle goal. Jesus has the ball in the inside left channel, he holds it up well before playing De Bruyne in on the overlap. City seeing most of the ball at the moment. Bruno was offside when the initial header was won, however. Gundogan lets fly from 30 yards - it's a pure strike that only just goes wide. Newcastle, on the other hand, are happy to sit back. Gary Neville, on Sky Sports comms, makes the point that the £100 million man will learn he has to be in those positions next year, in much the way that Sterling has. Grealish isn't there and Newcastle breathe a sigh of relief.

"We show the personality we have after the defeat. Dan Burn gets a booking for bringing down Aymeric Laporte, but the ball wasn't in play so no penalty. Guardiola clearly taking nothing to chance despite the scoreline. The spirit is still there from the Newcastle fans but their players look like they would be quite happy for this match to end now. Three points upfront, nine points to play, 4 goals ahead on goal difference Another final Wednesday, another team we suffer a lot in the last years since Nuno took over and now Bruno." They've now scored more than Liverpool and have a better goal difference. We bounced back perfectly, stuck together as a team in the last few days which was needed. On the pitch, though, City gave themselves a huge boost with a big win that gave them a three point lead and four-goal advantage in goal difference over Liverpool. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring, before Aymeric Laporte poked home. "We knew it would be pressure on us today, especially after what happened in midweek. They have a chance at 3-0, after we score two goals. One of the best groups ever I train in my life." Walker limped off in Madrid and had an ice pack around his ankle, while Stones travelled but wasn't fit enough to make the squad.
