"Manchester City are in omionously good form and could end the weekend just two points behind Arsenal after the Gunners dropped points at Wolves in midweek. Pep Guardiola's side are masters of the run-in having won the title six times under the Spaniard and will be looking to pile the pressure on with a win at home to Newcastle. Eddie Howe's side were magnificent on the road in midweek, thrashing Qarabag on the longest trip ever taken by an English side in the Champions League."
"What will that travel mean to Howe and his squad though? They already have a poor away record in the Premier League this season and have never won a league game at the Etihad. City rested Erling Haaland for their FA Cup win last weekend but the Norwegian goal machine is expected to be fit to play. Defender Josko Gvardiol and midfielder Mateo Kovacic remain long-term absentees, while wingers Jeremy Doku and Savinho are doubts."
