Premier League LIVE: Preparation for Newcastle United against Manchester City (kick-off at 12:30 p.m.) and six other games

Newcastle have won just one of their last 33 Premier League games against Manchester City (D5 L27), a 2-1 home win in January 2019 under Rafael Benítez.

Manchester City have scored in each of their last 31 Premier League games against Newcastle, the longest scoring streak by one team against another in the history of the competition.

In its Premier League history, Manchester City have won more games (31), more away games (12) and scored more goals (101) against Newcastle than against any other opponent.

Newcastle are unbeaten in 10 Premier League home games, winning six and drawing four. However, Manchester City were the last team to beat them at St James' Park (3-2 in January).

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 28 league games (W23 D5), with John Stones maintaining that streak thanks to a 98th-minute equalizer against Arsenal in their last outing. 24 of those games came in 2024, the longest streak without a defeat in the Premier League since the start of a calendar year since Chelsea in 2008 (26).

Newcastle have scored in each of their last 21 Premier League home games since a 0-0 draw with Leicester in May 2023. It is the longest running home goal streak of any team in the competition.

Newcastle have had more shots from high turnovers than any other team in the Premier League this season (15), and no team has scored more such goals than Manchester City (2).

Man City have scored more goals (4) and taken more shots (40) from outside the penalty area than any other team in the Premier League this season. 40% of their long-range attempts (16/40) came in the second half of their last game against Arsenal.

Harvey Barnes has been involved in a goal in each of his last four Premier League games for Newcastle (3 goals, 1 assist), his best performance in the top flight to date. Overall, he averages a goal or assist every 87 minutes for the Magpies (8 goals, 4 assists in 1042 minutes), the best rate of any player at the club (at least 1000 minutes).

Man City's Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in five Premier League games this season, the earliest a player has ever scored at the start of a season in the competition. The Norwegian could become only the second player to ever score in a team's first six games in a Premier League season, after Sergio Aguero did so for the Citizens in the 2019/20 season.
