Manchester City are set to host Newcastle United at home in the Premier League this weekend. While the former side came with a defeat behind their back, the latter side has been a good form lately.

Man City were heavily beaten 5-1 by Arsenal in their last top-flight fixture a fortnight ago, leaving them in fifth place and a staggering 18 points behind leaders Liverpool. They are also two points behind Chelsea in fourth, as well as level on points with their next opponents Newcastle in sixth, who also have the same goal difference.

Welcome to the Manchester City v Newcastle preview. Saturday 15th February – 3pm. Newcastle United travel to Manchester City this Saturday for a huge six-pointer, in the knowledge that victory would see them leapfrog their opponents and could go a long way to securing Champions League football for next season.
