Fitness doubts around Emil Krafth and Matt Targett give Howe decisions to make at full-back, where Kieran Trippier's versatility could see him fielded at left-back. Fresh from their Saudi takeover, Newcastle were beaten 4-0 and 5-0 by City last season but the optimism and momentum around Eddie Howe’s side continues to build. After a sensible rather than outlandish summer in the transfer market, they can provide the champions with their toughest test of the season so far.

Manchester City has only lost one of its last 29 Premier League games against Newcastle. An interesting thing to note is that Pep Guardiola has never lost one of the ten matches against Eddie Howe. Welcome to Sportstar’s highlights of the Newcastle United vs Manchester City Premier League match from St James’ Park stadium.
Newcastle and Manchester City staged a six-goal show at St. James' Park on Sunday, the Magpies matching their would-be blueprint holders blow-for-blow.
Just as Chelsea was a blueprint for Man City after its big takeover, Newcastle is looking to Man City (and others) for how to fast-forward a rise to top-four and eventually title contender. Still grey area in VAR: Kieran Trippier’s improbably-perfect free kick goal was his highlight (see below), but the way his red card was changed to a yellow will lead to a lot of questions from Pep Guardiola and his crew. Max at one end, and the holy gloves of Pope at the other. Draw (+400) Newcastle can play: Eddie Howe has always viewed himself as a lover of the wide-open game and Newcastle has the horses to run over, around, and through teams if they aren’t at their best. Both Ake and Stones can work next to a Ruben Dias or Aymeric Laporte, but Ake in particular has struggled to find that next level since arriving from Bournemouth.
The visitors took the lead at St. James' Park through Ilkay Gundogan, but goals from Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier - the latter with a ...
As defenders close in, the Frenchman rolls the ball into the path of Wilson, who takes a touch and finishes well to beat Ederson. Saint-Maximin receives a long ball on halfway and weaves through the City midfield. City’s captain controls the ball and hammers his shot past Nick Pope. He won free kick after free kick in the second half as City gave up trying to stop him legitimately. Newcastle: 2.3xG - Newcastle created easily the highest expected goals that Manchester City have conceded this season. They showed a real vulnerability to aggressive pressure, which Newcastle's front four were only too willing to provide. Almiron leans way back and fires his shot into row z. He was vital to Newcastle’s gameplan and played his role perfectly. City caused chaos at a corner, winning another in the confusion. Logically, the space is there to attack. The crucial element was Saint-Maximin. The visitors had exploited poor defending from Newcastle to open the scoring after just five minutes.
Manchester City dropped their first points of the Premier League season on Sunday as they played out a six-goal thriller with Newcastle.
Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake had been Guardiola's preferred centre-back pairing so far this season, but John Stones replaced the former to earn a first start of the campaign. Interestingly, his inclusion in the squad came at the expense of fellow young left-back Josh Wilson-Esbrand. City eased to a 4-0 win against Bournemouth last weekend, but that didn't stop Guardiola from making two changes to his side. Newcastle looked like scoring with each attack, with the two defenders not knowing when to drop and when to track runners. Last season that’s the kind of chance City might have spurned, but not any more. Stones looked like he hadn’t started a City game in months, while the telepathic partnership Dias and Stones developed in 2020/21 was sorely absent.
