Neither Manchester City or Newcastle enter this fixture in the greatest form, with Manchester City losing their last fixture against Tottenham and Newcastle yet to win this season. Both teams will be desperate to right the wrongs come this weekend.
If Newcastle are to prevail against Manuel Pellegrini’s men, they may well look to Jack Colback to provide drive and energy from the centre of midfield. The former Sunderland man has already covered a highly impressive 71.79km this season and it may be the role of Fernandinho to limit his effectiveness, who has covered 60.9km himself.
Newcastle may look to Chancel Mbemba if they are to curb the undoubted threat of Sergio Aguero. Mbemba has won more tackles than any other Newcastle player (23) and has also made more clearances (41), but he’ll face a real threat in Sergio Aguero who has shown his eye for goal by taking a shot at an average of a shot every 26 minutes. Aguero is 11/18 with 888sport.com to score at any time this weekend.
In Tim Krul and Joe Hart, two of the best goalkeepers in the league will be on show on Saturday, with the pair established internationals for their respective countries. The pair have had contrasting seasons, though, with Tim Krul being kept a lot more busy as the season has gone on. The Dutchman has made 27 saves so far this season, which is the third most in the league, in comparison to Joe Hart, who has made nine.
The dual between Raheem Sterling and Daryl Janmaat is likely to be a crucial one on Saturday, as Sterling has the pace and trickery to cause problems for even the most accomplished defenders. The EA SPORTS Player Performance Index shows that Sterling has completed eight dribbles this weekend, but he’s likely to meet his match in Daryl Janmaat who has won an impressive 58% of his challenges so far this season.
Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Mangala, Otamendi, Kolarov; Fernando, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling; Aguero
Newcastle United: Krul; Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Mbabu; Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Wijnaldum; Perez, Mitrovic
