Recent respective form guides
Newcastle United may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. Only 2 goals have been registered in this time, with 4 in the wrong end.
Man City's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Sky Blues, and 3 goals against.
Newcastle Utd. find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 5 points from their 6 matches. Man City find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 11 points they have accumulated from 6 games.
