The race for the Premier League crown is red-hot as reigning champions Manchester City aggressively pursue table toppers Arsenal. Impressively, Citizens manager Pep Guardiola has maintained his side's momentum with back-to-back wins over Bournemouth and Bristol City respectively. With eyes now set on Newcastle United - consistently one of the richest clubs in England's top division - no doubt Guardiola will be keen to propel Man City even higher up the standings this weekend.

Despite their points tally of 55 in 25 games being the fewest City have accumulated during a Premier League campaign since 2019-20, they remain firmly entrenched into the title race. A win against this particular opponent would set an equal record for longest consecutive home wins against them in PL history! Manager Guardiola will no doubt be hungry to claim such a historic victory and cement his team's place as frontrunners.

John Stones may have the chance to make a dramatic return from his recent hamstring injury, while Aymeric Laporte awaits assessment before this highly anticipated match. Stefan Ortega's hand injury could unfortunately keep him out of contention, however he wasn't likely to start anyway.

Newcastle have been a powerhouse of the Premier League this season, reaching heights far beyond those they've seen in preceding seasons. Their recent run at Wembley was proof enough that Champions League glory is well within their reach; and with an unbeaten 8-game streak on their travels (4 wins & 4 draws) there's no doubt City will face serious opposition when these two sides meet yet again after last August's thrilling 3-3 draw! Boasting one of the league’s most formidable away defences, conceding only 7 goals so far - it looks like Eddie Howe has found his stride against another promising PL outfit.

Emil Krafth, a major asset in the team's midfield is still not fully recovered to play due to injury. On top of that Bruno Guimaraes' ankle issue following his performance on Carabao Cup final could leave him unable to participate. Nick Pope will fortunately be allowed back after serving his one-game suspension and making himself available for this match up.

The hosts need to win convincingly in order to stay in the race for the title. Good luck!
