Newcastle United welcome league leaders Manchester City at the St James stadium on Saturday on what will be the first English Premier League game of the weekend. With 6 games played, Eddie Howe's Newcastle are just three points behind Manchester City who occupies the first position. So my question now is do you think Manchester City will easily get all three points at Newcastle or do you expect the home team to get a good result against the reigning champions?

Head to head in the last 5 meetings, it is actually quite clear that Man City will still be favored to win. But I don't think Man City will be able to easily win this match. And I think Man City will only win with a narrow score like 1-2 or 0-1. Newcastle actually beat Man City at the start of last season. And at that time Newcastle was also the host. But it wasn't in the Premier League but it was just a match in the EFL Cup. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, I don't think Man City will lose. So I'm sure Man City will win. But it's not an easy victory. Because we know Newcastle is also one of the strong teams in the Premier League.

Newcastle performed well at the beginning of this season by winning consecutively but in their last match Newcastle were defeated by Fulham so I think Manchester City still have a big chance to beat Newcastle even though they have to play away. Man City is not a club that is easily affected by the location where they play because they are used to tight competition so I think Man City will be favored to win or at least get a draw but what I know is that Pep Guardiola's troops will try hard not to share points because the points they collect are very important to maintain the distance with the clubs below them.
