Manchester City looking to continue strong start
Manchester City will face off against Newcastle in what promises to be an exciting Premier League match this weekend. After a convincing 3-0 win against Burnley on the opening day, Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to maintain their winning streak.
City triumph in Super Cup
In midweek, Manchester City secured the Super Cup title on penalties against Sevilla, adding another trophy to their cabinet. However, the intense match has left Guardiola raising concerns about the Premier League schedule, as his team faces Newcastle just 72 hours later.
Newcastle's strong start
Newcastle, led by Eddie Howe, came out strong on the opening day with a impressive 5-1 victory over Aston Villa. The team showed great determination and could be a strong contender for a Champions League spot for the second year in a row.
Match details
The match between Manchester City and Newcastle will take place on Saturday, August 19 at the Etihad stadium. Kick-off is set for 8pm BST.

Team news
Pep Guardiola will be hoping his team comes out unscathed after their taxing Super Cup clash against Sevilla. Kevin de Bruyne will be sidelined for several months due to a hamstring injury, while Ruben Dias could make a return after a seven-day absence. John Stones, however, will be unavailable due to a hamstring injury he picked up in training.
For Newcastle, Joe Willock is unlikely to play due to an unresolved hamstring issue. Other than that, Eddie Howe should have the same squad available as he did on the opening weekend.
Odds
According to Paddy Power, the odds for the match are as follows:
- Man City – 4/6
- Draw – 3/1
- Newcastle – 15/4
Please note that odds are subject to change.
