Newcastle United vs Manchester City – When Manchester City plays Newcastle at St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon, they will be attempting to keep their perfect record at the start of the 2022–23 Premier League season.
In their first two games, the Citizens have easily defeated Bournemouth and West Ham United, scoring six unanswered goals in the process.
The Pep Guardiola machine has been in perfect control of the results of both games so far, not even being tested defensively.
Newcastle, on the other hand, displayed two very different personalities in the first two rounds. On the opening day, when they easily defeated newly promoted Nottingham 2-0, they were outstanding.
However, previous weekend, when they were on the road against Brighton, they only put on a dismal performance. Anyway,
neither Newcastle nor Man City have given up this year. Additionally, the Magpies put on a significantly stronger performance at home than they do in front of the St. James’ fans.
We can suggest that the Citizens should take this as a serious test. The performance of Erling Haaland, who had just eight touches in his team’s 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth eight days prior, will be very interesting to watch.
After scoring a brace in the opening-day match at West Ham, the Norwegian forward will be extremely motivated to perform well on the road once more.
