Newcastle have won just one of their last 32 Premier League games against Manchester City (D5 L26), beating them 2-1 at St James’ Park in January 2019.

In their Premier League history, Manchester City have won more games (30), scored more goals (98) and kept more clean sheets (22) against Newcastle than they have against any other opponent.

Manchester City have scored in each of their last 30 Premier League games against Newcastle, the longest scoring streak one side has had against another in the competition’s history. The last side to score in more consecutive top-flight games against an opponent was Chelsea against Newcastle (37 between 1933 and 1969).

Newcastle beat Manchester City 1-0 at St. James’ Park in the EFL Cup earlier this season – they’ve not beaten the Citizens twice in the same campaign since 1983-84.

Newcastle have lost six of their last nine Premier League matches (W3), only one fewer than in their previous 44 games combined (W24 D13 L7). The Magpies are looking to avoid losing four consecutive league games for the first time since a run of five in January 2021.

Manchester City have conceded the first goal in six of their last eight away Premier League matches (W3 L3), doing so in their last two but coming back to win in both. Only three teams have conceded first and won three away games in a row: Leeds United in October 1999, Tottenham Hotspur in December 2013 and Man Utd in December 2020 (a run of six).

Newcastle United have won 24 points in home Premier League games this season (P10 W8 L2), with only Aston Villa (28) and Liverpool (26) winning more. They did, however, lose their most recent home game against Nottingham Forest and have never suffered consecutive home defeats under Eddie Howe.

Newcastle come into this game on a three-game losing run in the Premier League. Manchester City have only lost one of their last 32 Premier League games against teams who’ve lost their previous three games (W22 D9), a 3-2 home defeat to Tottenham in February 2022.

Across the last two seasons, Newcastle United have won 53% of their Premier League games when goalkeeper Nick Pope has played (27/51), losing only nine times and conceding an average 0.9 goals per game. Without him, the Magpies have lost five of their seven games (W1 D1) and have shipped an average of 2.3 goals per game.

Phil Foden has had a hand in seven goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances (4 goals, 3 assists) for Manchester City. Since Christmas, Foden has created the most chances in open play in the Premier League of any player (9).
