Newcastle is currently enduring a rough period and it's out of form, losing its position in the Champions League standings and trailing Tottenham by four points despite having two games in hand. The team has suffered defeats in their last three Premier League matches, including a 0-2 loss to Liverpool at home and a 0-2 defeat to Man United in the final of the English League Cup. Ahead of the most crucial games of the season, Manager Howe's side appears to have lost their momentum, and they now face a daunting task against Man City, who are still in the running for the title. Meanwhile, Man City has bounced back from a few lackluster performances and has found their winning form again, recording consecutive victories over Aston Villa and Arsenal, a loss to Nottingham, and a win over Bournemouth. In their latest fixture in the FA Cup, they triumphed over Bristol City without conceding any goals, with Foden scoring twice and De Bruyne netting the final goal. Despite resting their top scorer Haaland, who has 27 league goals, Man City cannot afford to drop any points as they are only five points behind the league leaders, Arsenal. Man City is the clear favorite to win this match, with the expectation that they will triumph by more than one goal. Newcastle has struggled defensively in recent games and has failed to score many goals, making it unlikely that they will pose a significant threat to the Man City team. As a result, it is expected that Man City will maintain its winning streak and emerge victorious in this game.
