Newcastle vs Manchester City preview

This should be a quiet night at the library… not!

Heavyweights Newcastle and Manchester City clash in what could easily be the final of the Carabao Cup, both looking to advance to the fourth-round draw.

It's the unstoppable force against the immovable object with both sides in simply irresistible touch.

Manchester City have won every single game of football they've played this season, boasting a 100% record in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola's side beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 over the weekend, and showed their defensive resilience when losing Rodi just minutes into the second half.

As for Newcastle, they followed a 0-0 draw at the San Siro with a 8-0 annihilation of Sheffield United at Bramall Lane to allay any fears of a European hangover.

Newcastle vs Manchester City betting tips

Home win…

We might just be looking at Newcastle's first win over Manchester City since 2019, and at a very tidy price of 21/10 with most bookmakers.

The Magpies have lost eight of their last nine games against the champions, including a 1-0 loss earlier this season at the Etihad.

However, the Cityzens are experiencing somewhat of an injury crisis with John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic all sidelined through injury.

Pep Guardiola's side will also be without midfield lynchpin Rodri after his dismissal against Nottingham Forest over the weekend.

Sunday's 8-0 victory was a statement win for Eddie Howe that will keep spirits high at St James' Park and add to the belief that they can make their mark domestically, as well as in Europe, this season.

Flash Gordon…

Anthony Gordon was virtually unstoppable against Sheffield United, and the winger will likely make his presence known again on Wednesday evening.

The 22-year-old has two goals, two assists and four bookings this season with only centre-forward Callum Wilson having more attempts on goal for Newcastle.

He boasts the most touches in the opposition final third and more successful take ons than any of his colleagues.

In from the cold…

The lesser-spotted Kalvin Phillips took to the field over the weekend following Rodri's sending off. And the England international might just get more minutes on Wednesday in his absence - especially of Kovacic isn't available.

Phillips committed one foul against Forest, and will have to contend with Newcastle's all-action midfield with precious little competitive minutes in his legs.
