Manchester City will travel to Newcastle United at St James Park, England.
This is a great chance to secure full points to keep their distance from leaders, Liverpool..
Josep Guardiola's troops really targeted their title back in the Premier League 2018/19. At the top of the Premier League, the Citizens have won four consecutive wins, the last two with a score of 3-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town.
As for the hosts, Newcastle United once again lost the opportunity to give prizes to their fans after being eliminated in the FA Cup against Watford. But before his last defeat, they first picked a 3-0 win over Cardiff City in the league and 2-4 over Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup.
Of the six matches, they collected two wins, two draws and two defeats. Now, Newcastle have become a threatening relegation team ranked 17th with 21 points in the Premier League.
