Newcastle vs Man City prediction

It’ll be fascinating to see how Guardiola replaces Rodri but given how underwhelming Newcastle have been, City should still have enough.

Haaland will be licking his lips at the prospect of taking on another weak defence. This game could be over at half-time if Newcastle’s recent performances are anything to go by.

Man City to win, 3-1.
