"Newcastle have won just one (!) of their last 35 (!!!jesuswept!!!) league meetings with Manchester City, losing 28 of them, while their manager Eddie Howe's personal league record against the club is P18 D2 L16. There's really no other way to frame this, is there? Godspeed, Magpie Nation. Not wishing to further harsh what remains of Newcastle's pre-match buzz, but City have scored in every one of their last 33 league matches against them."
"That's not good, which is an eagle-eyed observation snapped into even sharper focus by the fact that only three sides in English top-flight history have bettered such a run against the same opponent, and two of those have been against well, look Chelsea v Newcastle United: 37 games between 1933 and 1969 Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United: 35 games between 1922 and 1961 Everton v Blackburn Rovers: 34 games between 1925 and 1962 Oh Newcastle! You really need to kick this habit."
Newcastle United make three changes to their starting XI after the 3-1 defeat at Brentford, with Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Lewis Hall replacing the injured Kieran Trippier, the suspended Dan Burn and the benched Sven Botman. Manchester City name an unchanged side after a 3-0 win over Liverpool. Newcastle have won one of their last 35 league meetings with Manchester City, losing 28, and Eddie Howe's league record versus City is P18 D2 L16. City have scored in each of their last 33 league matches against Newcastle. Erling Haaland has 14 domestic goals and 32 in 20 overall.
