Newcastle vs Manchester City Preview
Manchester City have been rocked by the news that key midfielder Rodri will be missing a prolonged period of action following the serious knee injury he sustained during the dramatic 2-2 draw with the Gunners on Sunday. Despite City being a dominant force in the Premier League, on their day, Newcastle can give any team in English football a tough day at the office. Eddie Howe’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat, and they will look to bounce back when they face the defending champions. Even though some key players will not be available due to injury for the home team they still have the quality to get a positive result. Despite back-to-back draws in the Champions League against Inter Milan and against Arsenal, Guardiola’s men remain favourites to win their fifth Premier League title in a row. However, playing Newcastle United away just three days before the second matchday in the Champions League presents a tough challenge for Pep’s men.
