Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland

Manchester City will look to maintain their recent good form when they travel to Newcastle United for an English Premier League fixture.

The Citizens have done some good work on their recent travels, while the hosts boast a solid record in front of their fans. Both teams have shown attacking quality lately and could be set to offer up goals here.

Newcastle United News

Newcastle went into the international break after suffering a 3-1 defeat at Brentford in their previous Premier League fixture. They struck first through Harvey Barnes but suffered a defensive capitulation in the second half.

That was the second defeat in three matches for Newcastle, who will be keen for some momentum. Eddie Howe’s team are back at St James' Park, where they have won five of their last six matches across all competitions.

Newcastle have quality going forward and have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions, with seven of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League matches.

Manchester City News

Manchester City travel to Newcastle off the back of a 3-0 home victory over champions Liverpool last time out in the Premier League. Erling Haaland opened the scoring for the Citizens, who closed the gap on leaders Arsenal to four points.

That was the fourth straight win across all competitions for Manchester City, who appear to be slowly returning to their best form. Pep Guardiola's team are also unbeaten in six of their last seven away matches.

Haaland has been the standout player for Manchester City and scored his 14th Premier League goal of the season with his effort against Liverpool. However, they are without a clean sheet in four of their last five matches, while four of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester City have nine wins and two draws, while Newcastle have only picked up one victory in the last 12 matches. The Citizens claimed a 4-0 home win in the last meeting back in February.

Verdict

Newcastle v Man City

Newcastle United and Manchester City often adopt an open style of play, and given the attacking quality on display, both teams are likely to score here. With five of the home team's last six matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could also be considered.

Haaland has had his way against most defences this season, with 14 League goals so far. The striker could be backed to maintain his scoring run on Saturday.
