Right from last season Newcastle have been thus team that has been transforming and looking like a threat to big teams in premier league. Looking at Newcastle they will really do well this season and will be a nightmare to team like Manchester city. Manchester City and Newcastle meeting will an interesting game that Manchester City won't find it easy. In all the games that Manchester City have played this it was only the game they played against Burnley that was easy for them, Manchester City against arsenal was a tough game because arsenal have quality squad, this is the same way Newcastle will be tough against City.
Newcastle is known for their amazing performance since they get all the encouragement from their owner and am very sure they also don't want to disappoint him, and last season they were not just an ordinary threat but a serious one, the problem is not debatable they will definitely do well, and the way clubs are to play this season it not going to be an easy season for manchester city and that is what I wanted, other clubs need to start cooking something and disarm manchester city and now that de Brune is not available it is a loophole for the city, and Burnley did well but no goals, cities still have great competitors ahead.
Also, a certain problem for Manchester City is the fact that the team has just played a UEFA Super Cup match, unlike Newcastle United, which, after the match with Aston Villa, has been systematically preparing for the match with City all week. At least, Pep Guardiola criticized the English Premier League that the match was set for Saturday, not Sunday or Monday, and sarcastically expressed many thanks. Although, of course, Guardiola, together with his staff and with his experience, should neutralize the negative consequences of this, but the fact remains. Newcastle has a definite advantage because of this.
And Even the supa cup was a great challenge for manchester city a lot of energy was used because even Sevilla was not joking with manchester city at all on the pitch, and the absence of de Brune again will also affect them how hilarious that Newcastle has been seriously preparing against manchester city is going to be an interesting game and my prediction is either Newcastle win or the game ends in a draw, I fully go with what you said about Newcastle having the advantage. even without the 1 week preparation newcastle is hard nut to crack.
