Player Focus
22bet’s football predictions show that the attacking phases of the two sides will be pivotal in shaping this match-up on Saturday. Although they are on opposite ends in terms of form, both sides will look to create and take chances, underscoring the significance of their attackers.
Anthony Gordon
Anthony Gordon has grabbed six goals and five assists in 29 appearances for Newcastle this term. His five assists are the highest in the team; football prediction analysis demonstrates his role as the creative force behind Eddie Howe’s side and highlights his potential impact on the match against Manchester City.
Erling Haaland
With 19 goals and five assists, Erling Haaland is the Premier League’s top scorer, and leads the way for Manchester City. The Norwegian is Man City’s danger-man and will lead the line for them at St James’ Park on Saturday. Football bet predictions show that, coupled with the return of Kevin De Bryne to the City side, Haaland is odd-son to impact the match.
Tactical Analysis
22bet’s expert soccer predictions show that Manchester City will keep the lion share of the possession and play on the front foot. On the other hand, Newcastle will be pragmatic but maintain a high energy and aggression to attack in transitions when in possession.
Newcastle United vs. Manchester City Expert Analysis
Eddie Howe will retain the 4-3-3 formation; however, the midfielders and fullbacks will play conservatively and tactically in this match to deny City spaces in behind.
Guardiola will adopt an expansive 4-2-3-1, with midfielders and one of the fullbacks pushing forward to create overloads, dominate the ball, and create chances.
