Newcastle United vs Manchester City

Preview

Manchester City will be looking to stretch their winning run into three games in a row when they travel to St. James Park to take on Newcastle United on Sunday. The Citizens started their season with a clinical 2-0 win against West Ham United and followed that up with a destructive 4-0 win over Bournemouth. They have kept cleansheets in both games so far and have scored plenty of goals as well. That sums up how they have dominated so far. Newcastle, on the other hand, are another side that are yet to conceded this season. But they encountered a goalless draw against Brighton in the last game after starting the season with a comprehensive 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

Erling Haaland: The forward has shown what he is capable of in these two games. Haaland has a couple of goals and an assist to his name already, and he stands a chance of bagging a big haul against Newcastle tonight.

Kevin de Bruyne: The midfielder scored 15 goals last season to finish as Manchester Citys highest scorer and he assisted eight times on top of that as well. De Bruyne has already made an impact in this season as he has a goal and two assists to his name.

Callum Wilson: The English forward finished as Newcastles highest scorer last season with eight goals to his name. He already has scored once in the two games this season and will be eagerly looking forward to score against City.
