Newcastle United vs Manchester City is the upcoming match in the Premier League where Pep and his men look to continue their perfect runs of winning games to three in a row against Newcastle.

Date, Location and Time:

St James' Park in Newcastle will host the match.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City: Match Preview:

Newcastle are the latest side to try and put a dent in Manchester City when the sides meet on Sunday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side swatted aside West Ham and Bournemouth in their opening two matches of the Premier League season, scoring six and conceding none. Those sides managed just two shots on target between them.

Plenty is expected of Newcastle this season, though they have not really used their new riches this summer. It's been a relatively quiet transfer window so far, though that could change in the next couple of weeks.

City have scored at least four goals in four of the past five meetings between the two sides, losing to Newcastle in the Premier League just once since 2005.

Team News:

Newcastle United:

Newcastle United remain without midfielder Jonjo Shelvey through injury, while Matt Targett, Ryan Fraser and Emil Krafth will have to be assessed prior to the game.

Summer signing Sven Botman will again partner Fabian Schar at the heart of a back four, with Dan Burn set to stay at left-back if Targett is not deemed fit to come straight back in.

Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton remain key men in midfield alongside Joe Willock, while Callum Wilson should continue to be preferred over Chris Wood up front.

Manchester City:

Guardiola will again be unable to call on centre-back Aymeric Laporte due to an injury, meaning Nathan Ake should keep his place alongside Ruben Dias unless John Stones is given a chance to start at St James' Park.

Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan have operated in a three-man midfield in both league games thus far and should continue their partnership behind talismanic midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

The Citizens could continue to rotate their attacking options, with Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva all battling to flank striker Erling Braut Haaland.
