Manchester City return to Premier League duty on Saturday night knowing a home win over Newcastle United could significantly tighten the title race. With Arsenal dropping points at Wolves in midweek, Pep Guardiola’s side have the chance to close the gap at the summit when they welcome the Magpies to the Etihad Stadium.
Man City come into this fixture in fine form. A narrow FA Cup fourth round win over Salford City followed recent league victories against Liverpool and Fulham, extending City’s winning run to four matches. Sitting second in the table with a game in hand, City could move within touching distance of Arsenal ahead of the Gunners’ North London derby.
Meanwhile, Newcastle arrive in Manchester with renewed confidence after a sharp upturn away from home. Eddie Howe’s side have won three straight away games across competitions, scoring freely in victories over Tottenham, Aston Villa and Qarabag. That surge has been fuelled by aggressive attacking play, highlighted by Anthony Gordon’s first half hat-trick in midweek Champions League action.

BTTS looks the sensible angle here because both sides are arriving in good goal scoring form. Newcastle have found the net in each of their last seven matches, while Man City have scored in eight straight. It points to two attacks carrying momentum into a game that should be played at a high tempo. Even if City control most of the ball, Newcastle’s recent away threat and willingness to break quickly gives them a realistic route to contribute on the scoresheet.
For a bigger price, Over 3.5 holds value as Newcastle’s last five of six cleared that line. This games can be high-scoring because of the in-form forwards in both the teams. Newcastle’s aggressive approach will create the kind of end-to-end stuff that push totals past three.
Antoine Semenyo is a good shout given how quickly he has settled at City after arriving from Bournemouth. He has three goals in five league appearances for his new club. In a match where City should create plenty of chances in and around the box, Semenyo will be dangerous. Semenyo’s direct running and willingness to shoot make him a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet.
