NEW vs MCI Dream11 Prediction Premier League: Starting Lineup, Fantasy Tips

Manchester City travels to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle United in a highly anticipated Premier League clash on Saturday, 28 September 2024. City will look to strengthen their grip at the top of the table, while Newcastle seeks to bounce back from their first defeat of the season.

Newcastle is unbeaten in their last 10 home games, but their last defeat at St. James’ Park was against City in January 2024. Newcastle started the season well, securing 10 points from their opening four matches, but their momentum was halted by a 3-1 loss to Fulham last weekend. Eddie Howe’s men struggled at Craven Cottage, conceding two early goals and never fully recovering despite a second-half effort from Harvey Barnes. Howe admitted it was their worst performance of the season and will expect a response from his team.

Manchester City has won more Premier League games (31) and scored more goals (101) against Newcastle than against any other team in the division. City remains unbeaten in the Premier League this season. They will be full of confidence, having won their midweek EFL Cup clash 2-1 against Watford despite making several changes to the squad. Pep Guardiola’s side has not lost a Premier League game in 2024, extending their unbeaten run to 24 matches. With prolific goal-scorer Erling Haaland leading the line, City will be keen to maintain that form.

Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Gordon, Isak, Barnes

Who will win Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester City?

Newcastle will be fired up in front of their home crowd, aiming to put their defeat to Fulham behind them. However, Manchester City, even without Rodri, remains a formidable side. With the likes of Haaland up front and Bernardo Silva pulling the strings in midfield, City has enough firepower to edge past the Magpies in what promises to be a competitive game.
