"There's also the fact that City have scored in every single one of their last 34 matches against Newcastle. That's a run that puts them joint-third on the following all-time list. Chelsea against Newcastle United: 37 games between 1933 and 1969 Tottenham Hotspur against Newcastle United: 35 games between 1922 and 1961 Everton against Blackburn Rovers: 34 games between 1925 and 1962 Manchester City against Newcastle United: 34 games between 2007 and 2025 (ongoing)"
"Both teams are in if-it-ain't-broke mode. Manchester City name the same starting XI from their last Premier League match, the 3-0 home win over Fulham, with one exception: Omar Marmoush comes in for Phil Foden, who drops to the bench. Newcastle also make one change. This is from their actual last game, the 6-1 Champions League romp at Qarabag. Jacob Ramsey replaces Harvey Barnes, who is named as a sub."
Manchester City hold a 16-game winning run in this fixture and are unbeaten in 21 consecutive stagings of the match, a home sequence only bettered by Everton's 22-match run. City have scored in each of their last 34 meetings with Newcastle, placing them joint-third on the all-time list behind Chelsea and Tottenham. The list compares specific historical sequences across decades and notes Manchester City's ongoing 2007–2025 run. Both teams largely retain recent starting XIs: Manchester City make one change as Omar Marmoush replaces Phil Foden, while Newcastle bring in Jacob Ramsey for Harvey Barnes. Match outcomes carry implications for title hopes and European qualification.
