Prediction: 1-3
Man City
Newcastle United and Manchester City face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at St. James’ Park on Matchday 18. The Magpies are stuck in the relegation zone, with the team losing to Liverpool in their last league match. Newcastle are eager to climb to the safe zone, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Sunday’s clash. Midfielder Jamal Lewis, who limped off with injury in the 3-1 loss to Liverpool, has joined Anderson, Fernandez, and Dummett in the recovery room.
The Citizens, on the other hand, impressed in a 7-0 crushing of Leeds United. Considering that key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is back to the starting XI, we predict that the league leaders are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Sunday. Both Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker should be fit for the match, while Ferran Torres remains in the treatment room.

Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
