Manchester City vs Newcastle Predictions
Manchester City can keep the title race tight
Draws in Arsenal’s last two Premier League matches against Brentford and Wolves have left a narrow gap at the top. Manchester City now have the chance to move within two points, and that tournament detail frames Saturday night clearly.
Pep Guardiola’s side required a late goal at Liverpool earlier this month to stay firmly involved in the race. That result at Anfield preserved momentum. They followed it with a 3-0 home win over Fulham in their last league outing, another controlled scoreline at the Etihad.
Home numbers add weight. City have won ten and drawn two of their last 12 Premier League matches at the Etihad Stadium. Across that run they have not lost, and the frequency of positive results remains consistent in domestic home fixtures.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four league games. Ten of their 26 Premier League matches this season have featured at least four goals, which points to open scorelines rather than tight margins. At the same time, both teams have scored in each of their last seven outings in all competitions, and Eddie Howe’s side have failed to score in just three of their last 17 away matches, excluding the earlier 0-0 draws at Aston Villa, Leeds and Bournemouth.
City won 3-1 in this fixture in the Carabao Cup semi-finals earlier this month. That result sits within a pattern of Newcastle conceding but still contributing to the scoreline.
Manchester City winning with both teams scoring fits with City’s 3-0 home victory over Fulham, the late goal at Liverpool, Newcastle’s run of seven straight games with goals at both ends and the 3-1 cup meeting between the sides. The combined selection at 2.75 reflects City’s strong home sequence alongside Newcastle’s regular scoring on the road.
Tip: Manchester City and Both Teams To Score ( at N/A)
Semenyo’s early impact adds another threat
Antoine Semenyo has scored in three of his last four league games for Manchester City. He found the net against Wolves, Tottenham and Fulham, and that return comes within his first five league appearances for the club after his January move from Bournemouth.
That immediate return underlines his role in supporting Erling Haaland in the final third. Guardiola has looked for additional goals from the wider options, and Semenyo’s minutes have translated into direct output.
The recent 3-0 win over Fulham included one of those goals, maintaining his scoring frequency at home as well as away. Three goals in four league matches place him among the most productive contributors in this short sample, and that personal strike rate stands on its own regardless of overall team results.
A run of three goals in four Premier League matches for Manchester City places Semenyo firmly in the anytime scorer frame at 2.37.
