Newcastle vs Man City - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- League champions Man City visit Newcastle at St James' Park on Saturday night
- Magpies aiming to end the weekend above Man Utd and Brighton
- Cityzens looking for a fourth league win in five games
By Euan Burns
One of the biggest games of the split Gameweek 21 in the Premier League sees champions Manchester City take on Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Magpies have only won one of their last five league matches as they continue to struggle with injuries and the added strain of Champions League football before their exit from Europe. They will, however, take some confidence from the FA Cup win over Sunderland last weekend while their fans roar them on at St James' Park.
It'll be no walkover for Pep Guardiola's Man City as they try to get back to the top of the table. They can't get there this weekend as Liverpool are five points up the road, but the Cityzens can leapfrog Aston Villa in second with a win.
Here is all you need to know about Newcastle vs Man City in the Premier League this weekend.

Newcastle vs Man City score prediction
Had this game been scheduled for three weeks ago, it may be a harder one to predict. Newcastle are by their very nature unpredictable but are struggling right now, while Man City have got their act together recently after a small wobble.
When factoring in the difference in form of each team and the players Man City have returning from injury, they have to be the favourites to win on Saturday.
Newcastle will put up a fight, but the quality of the champions should shine through.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-3 Man City
