Newcastle United Hosts Manchester City in Premier League

Newcastle United will host Manchester City at St. James' Park this Saturday, following a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fulham last weekend, which marked their first loss of the season. Manager Eddie Howe is facing selection dilemmas, particularly in midfield, as he seeks to bounce back after the team's lackluster performance. Key players like Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon have struggled early this season, while the Magpies hope to leverage their strong home form, having gone unbeaten at home for ten league matches. Manchester City, on the other hand, will be without Rodri due to injury but will rely on Erling Haaland's presence in attack. Pundit Alan Shearer anticipates a competitive match, highlighting Newcastle's need for a strong response after their recent poor showing. Both teams are under pressure to perform as they vie for points in the Premier League.
