Newcastle United have struggled historically against Manchester City, winning only once in their last 35 league encounters. Eddie Howe has yet to defeat City in his managerial career (D2 L16), highlighting the challenge ahead.
Despite home support from the Toon Army, Newcastle have been inconsistent this season and will face a tough test against a side scoring freely and defending solidly.

Manchester City have bounced back strongly after a disappointing 2024–25 campaign, sitting just four points behind Arsenal at the summit. Erling Haaland has been in fine form, and City have scored in each of their last 33 league matches against Newcastle.
With a potent attack and superior record against the Magpies, the visitors are clear favorites to secure all three points.
MatchPlug Prediction for Newcastle United vs Manchester City
Newcastle will hope to bounce back from recent setbacks, but overcoming the league’s top scorers will be no easy task. Matches between these sides at St. James’ Park have been high-scoring affairs in recent years, and we expect plenty of goals once again.
Final Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
