Nothing is impossible, Newcastle could win their home match against Manchester City.
Newcastle have been a spirited side so far, so they could potentially spring a surprise on a team that has dominated the title for four lucky seasons. Reviewing the previous match against Arsenal, I think there is a weak side in Manchester City that Newcastle can still exploit to at least secure 1 point at home.

But don't think it's easy, so far Haaland is very difficult to stop. He routinely scores goals in every Manchester City match in the Premier League, so he is the most decisive player in the match. If Haaland plays well and can take advantage of many opportunities, then Manchester City will most likely win the match even if Newcastle can score a home goal.

I hope Newcastle can provide a surprise in the match against City, although City's chances are quite big to get full points at St James'Park. but football is unique, anything can happen especially if City players make mistakes or get injured. at least, Newcastle has a great spirit to provide fierce resistance playing at home. City will also not be strengthened by several of its players, Rodri and De Bruyne still have to be sidelined because they have not recovered from their injuries. considering the previous match against Arsenal, Eddie Howe must study the results of the match. IMO, if Newcastle plays pragmatically then City will find it easier to conquer Eddie Howe's team. but let's see these two teams meet, City's odds have a fairly striking gap with Newcastle. clearly, if City is far superior. moreover, their goal machine, Haaland has always been able to break through his opponent's team in five matches in the Premier League. let's see the actions of these two teams when they compete later, my guess is that Eddie Howe will instruct his defenders to guard Haaland, Man to Man so that it is difficult to get space to move.  the reason is simple, Haaland has scored 10 of Manchester City's 13 goals. meaning, other players are not so prominent in scoring goals in Manchester City's 5 matches. anyway, this is just my guess. maybe, I will revise it again when I see the line up of both teams later.
