"Ending Manchester United's sensational run of form as they snatched a last-gasp 2-1 victory on Tyneside, the Magpies will be desperate to use that late flurry as a platform to build on. Extending on their Champions League adventure on February 24th as they secured a thrilling 9-3 aggregate victory against Kazakhstan outfit Qarabag, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad win five of their previous seven appearances across all competitions."
"However, Howe will know the importance of finding some crucial defensive stability. Despite collecting a major FA Cup scalp last month as they claimed a 3-1 win away at Aston Villa, Newcastle have failed to record a single clean sheet in any of their last 12 consecutive attempts."
"Shown a first-half red card at home against Manchester United on Wednesday night, former Aston Villa starlet Jacob Ramsey will miss out through suspension here. Dealing with a recent hamstring injury, influential skipper Bruno Guimaraes remains on the sidelines."
Newcastle faces Manchester City in a significant FA Cup match at St. James' Park. Newcastle recently defeated Manchester United 2-1 and has won five of their last seven matches across competitions, including a 9-3 aggregate victory over Qarabag in the Champions League. However, the team lacks defensive stability, failing to record a clean sheet in 12 consecutive attempts. Key absences include Jacob Ramsey (suspension) and Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring injury), with Valentino Livramento also sidelined. Manchester City arrives after drawing 2-2 against Nottingham Forest, experiencing setbacks in their Premier League title pursuit. The betting verdict favors both teams scoring at 3/5 odds with Dachbet.
