Without Rodri and De Bruyne, Manchester City still have an intimidating line-up. Newcastle United have not been at their best this season, they may not be too much problem for Manchester City. Manchester City's midfielders have just one responsibility which is to get the ball to Haaland whose striking skills is sharper this season than it was last season. Manchester City will win against Newcastle,they will be prepared for it. The team that Manchester City will drop points to this season will be hard to guess, because it can come from the most unexpected team.
Arsenal receive a major good news, as Mikel Merino has started to train with the Arsenal team again but will not play this weekend.
https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/merino-arsenal-fc-debut-injury-news-latest-premier-league-2024-b1184613.htmlNewcastle have had good form so far, they have had 1 defeat and 1 draw in their last 5 matches in the Premier League. The team's performance looked good, but the previous defeat in the match against Fulham was certainly surprising. Newcastle will definitely try to recover to improve its performance, but the match against Manchester City will certainly be very difficult.
What I want to say is, Arsenal fans definitely hope Manchester City loses this match, and so do Liverpool fans. Manchester City's defeat could help both of them take top spot, even Aston Villa will hope for the same. But in my opinion, Manchester City are favorites to win the away game and they are ready to do well.
