Newcastle vs Man City form
Newcastle are one of four teams yet to win away from home in the 2025/26 Premier League. Thanks to a good performance at St James' Park, Eddie Howe's team has not fallen into the relegation zone.
But for an ambitious team like Newcastle, the current 14th position certainly cannot bring satisfaction to the board, fans and the entire team. Even with the gap to the second-to-last position held by Nottingham is only 3 points, one or two missteps can completely make the young master of the Northeast bog down.
In this round, the risk of being pushed further down the table becomes more obvious for Eddie Howe and his team. Despite having a 5-game winning streak at home, Newcastle still has many reasons to worry.
It is worth noting that both of the home team's defeats at St James' Park since the start of the season were against stronger visitors such as Liverpool (2-3) or Arsenal (1-2). Man City also brought a similar challenge to the Northeast.
Coach Pep Guardiola and his team really want to leave in the winning mood. Because if they win, The Citizens will temporarily narrow the gap with the top of the table to only 1 point, at the same time putting significant pressure on Arsenal before the North London derby on Sunday night.
The current form of the away team is very impressive. In the last 4 appearances, Man City have won all, scoring 13 and conceding 3 goals. In the last 4 away trips, Erling Haaland and his teammates have also won 3 and lost 1. Not to mention, the superior head-to-head record will further boost the confidence of the Manchester giants.
In 35 encounters with The Magpies in the Premier League, Man City won 28, drew 6 and lost only 1. In the last 17 visits to St James' Park in the most prestigious tournament in the foggy island, the away team also won 11, drew 5 and lost only 1.

Coach Pep Guardiola himself also has superior head-to-head stats compared to his counterpart Eddie Howe. After 18 matches in the Premier League, the famous Spanish strategist has won 16 and drawn only 2.
However, St James' Park is still not a comfortable place for any team. Liverpool and Arsenal both had to work hard to get full points. In addition, Man City's performance in away matches since the beginning of the season has not been able to reassure the fans of this team.
The defeats against Brighton and Aston Villa are clear lessons. Just a little bit of distraction and loss of concentration, Pep and his team can pay a heavy price against the guns blazing on the opposite side.
