Newcastle United is set to play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, where they have never achieved a victory in 20 attempts. BBC Sport's Chris Sutton acknowledges the historical struggle of certain teams at specific stadiums, suggesting that while past losses weigh heavy, they also create a chance for change. Predictions for the match are influenced by this history, coupled with insights from The Wombats' drummer Dan Haggis, who, as an Everton fan, expresses a need for Everton supporters to remain optimistic despite relegation fears and past struggles with scoring goals.
"I usually use science to help me make my predictions, but this time I have to think about history too, there are grounds where some clubs cannot get over the line."
"You've got to be optimistic as an Everton fan, really; otherwise you can just get too anxious and drown in the worry of relegation battles."
