How Will Newcastle Fare At Manchester City – Can We Get Our First League Win There In 23 Years?



The hardest fixture in the Premier League is a trip to meet Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

And after Manchester City’s triple last season, they won the Premier League – they have won five of the last six PLs, the FA Cup, and the Champions League – they are undoubtedly right now the best team in the world.

So it will be a tough trip for our lads tomorrow when we will kick off the game at 8:00pm.

Here are some facts from the BBC on our record at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City have lost just one of their last 31 Premier League games against Newcastle (W25 D5), going down 2-1 at St. James’ Park in January 2019.

Newcastle have never won in 18 Premier League games at the Etihad Stadium (D2 L16), with their last away league win against Man City at Maine Road in September 2000.

It’s the most any team has played at a specific venue without ever winning in Premier League history.

So what better way to motivate the boys than for Eddie Howe to point this stat out.

Newcastle are in form and we are determined to show the rest of the Premier League we are a team to be reckoned with – right now.

    Tonali’s wife’s take on her first month in the northeast!
    Now I know she’s not going to say it’s a cr@phole but it does sound like it tick’s a lot of her boxes!
    She might become a useful voice in future transfers!

    I get Ferdinand. Rob Lee Worthy of a shouts.
    But who would they replace?
    But Asprilla.???? A few good months and some would say he lost us the league

    My only worry is whenever Newcastle have a big win they flatter to deceive next game. When we beat villa 6-1 I think we lost 2-0 next game to Blackpool?
    Expectations are high after villa win but I expect a man city win. However there is HOPE and a CHANCE we can get something. Not like Bruce Pardew even rafa days when we were guaranteed to lose at etihad

    “It’s the most any team has played at a specific venue without ever winning in Premier League history.”

    Wow, that’s some record.

    I hope the bookies realize that they have to give me some great odds to back us halting that streak.

    Asprilla one of my fav ever players. We lost cos Keegan changed shape of team to accommodate asprilla not cos of his performance. Keegan biggest mistake. Should have benched and rotated asprilla and Beardsley and kept same team shape instead of fitting everyone together

    Mentality of this team is a winning one.
    We will turn up next game after a big win.
    I expect us to get something out of the game and a win would not surprise me.
    If we lose (any team can lose to them) it will be a narrow defeat.
    City 1 Toon 2
    (Coz they always score)

    If you’re around.
    That clip of Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith is the most moving thing I’ve seen from a football crowd.
    The rest of Hampden is empty, post match, the players have departed the scene, and yet no Hibs fan has moved.
    It is a love song.

    Most teams that have an amazing win go on to struggle. I think I said this after Villa whopped us and we improved and they deteriorated after that. Although I said that last time to try to dispell the doom and gloom. Hopefully it won’t happen this weekend.

    I hear you but Beardsley was so good he did not need rotating. Asprilla was a luxury player we did not need. Ginola was luxury enough

    So with Hall incoming, how’s our 25 man squad worked out in the end.

    GK Pope, Dubravka, Karius
    RB Trippier, Kraft
    CB Schar, Botman, Lascelles, Burn, Dummett
    LB Targett
    RW Almiron, Murphy, Ritchie
    CM Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff
    LW Barnes, Gordon
    ST Isak, Wilson

    that’s 23, so Gillespie and Manquillo will likely be included.

    Anderson, Miley, A.Murphy, Livramento and Hall adding depth to that.

    My turn,

    Pope
    Trippier Schar Botman Burn
    Longstaff Bruno Tonali
    Miggy Isak Gordon

    The defense and keeper picks itself. Midfield, we’re spoiled for choice but I think Eddie will start with Longstaff which will allow Bruno and Tonali to push forward. The attack, Miggy was rested for a reason but ran his socks off in his cameo v Brentford. Isak to lead the attack possibly with Gordon and he interchanging. What do I know?
