It won't be easy for Guardiola's men to win this match. They are still the favorites, so that's obvious. But Newcastel recent improvement has made things more difficult. Especially if we look at Newcastle's first match which feasted on goals against Aston Vila.
If Mamchester City are not careful enough with Newcastle, then believe me they will be humiliated at their own base, at Etihafd.
On the other hand, also Newcaste must be more excited to be able to beat the club that currently holds the title of defending champion for 3 consecutive years, even coupled with the Champions League title they currently hold.

I want to say otherwise, it will not be easy for Newcastle to overthrow the reigning Premier League champions. although most people say, that City was not impressive in the match against Sevilla. in the match vs Sevilla, City did not play some of their core players due to several factors. Injured De Bruyne, Silva, John Stones, Pep are preparing for the Premier League competition. in this match, it seems that Pep will use the pattern that is his mainstay.

If I refer to City's line-up prediction, Pep applies the 3-2-4-1 pattern. the difference is, because De Brunye was not played in several matches due to injury. that means Pep will play Alvarez and Kovacic instead. the left and right wings, filled as usual by Bernardo Silva and Grealish, John Stones and Rodri returned to duet as a double pivot. three backs, played by Walker, Akanji and Ake. well, if the scenario goes according to predictions, I'm very sure City will play the game as usual and not like in the match against Sevilla. moreover, this match will be played at the Etihad Stadium headquarters of TheCitizen. City will dominate the game, they even have the potential to score a lot of goals even though now Newcastle has deepened into their squad.

On the contrary, this bout was a big challenge bout for Eddie Howe. if Newcastle are able to hold City to a draw at their headquarters, it means that this team has the potential to become a tight competitor in the race for a trophy this season. but I'm still optimistic, if the scenario is as I said City will win the game easily.

Lol. Of course if you say that, it is not easy for Newcaslte to beat Manchester City, because the favorite here is Manchester City.
But it's not impossible when Newcastle can beat Manchester City on their own turf? Yes at least a draw will probably be the best result for Newcastle in this match, considering the opponents they face have good strength.
Talking about their match with Sevilla, I think it's quite clear the reason why they don't perform as usual, yes that's because they are more focused on other matches.

Any side facing Newcastle United this season should be aware that they are up against a formidable opponent. They finished the previous season strongly and qualified for the Champions League. With the way they performed and triumphed over Aston Villa last week, we can see that the zeal and potential of last season that they had is still in them at the start of this season. Manchester City will not take this match lightly either; it will be an exciting and challenging match to watch.

Yes their strength has increased that since last season, which is where they can compete in the top 4. Of course this is a warning to other clubs not to underestimate Newcastle who are in a good trend, after they have good financial capabilities, which we can't help but say that that is what drives them so that we see them today.

We see a new competitor now and it comes from a club that usually occupies the mid-table.
