We simulated Man City vs Newcastle to get a Premier League score prediction

Manchester City will be looking to stay hot on the tails of Arsenal when they face top-four chasers Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.

After a 3-0 win over Bristol City in the FA Cup, City return to Premier League action as they look to try and close the gap between themselves and the top of the league with victory against Newcastle. One of the games of the season was produced in the last meeting between the two, with Pep Guardiola's side coming from two goals down to draw 3-3 at St. James' Park.

The visitors have hit a rough patch of form in recent weeks, failing to win any of their last four games, including a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final. Phil Foden has found himself back in Guardiola's starting XI in recent weeks and impressed immensely, potentially setting himself up for a third consecutive start.

City found it tough to get out of first gear in the opening stages of the game, with the Magpies possessing all of the attacking threat. A scuffed shot from Miguel Almiron rattled the post in the 29th minute, but an error at the back gifted the visitors the opener minutes later.
