Explore Coral's detailed preview for Newcastle vs Manchester City in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 17:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Newcastle vs Manchester City

• Date: Saturday, 22 November 2025

• Kick-off: 17:30 GMT

• Venue: St. James' Park

Newcastle's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. They've struggled away from home, losing their last three away matches, which could pose a challenge at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. However, their home wins against Fulham and Nottingham Forest show they can be competitive, especially with their attacking trio of Murphy, Woltemade, and Barnes, who have been part of the lineup in recent games.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have been in excellent form, winning four out of their last five matches, with their only loss coming away at Aston Villa. Their home record is particularly strong, with convincing victories over Liverpool and Bournemouth. City's attacking prowess, led by Haaland and supported by the likes of Doku and Foden, could prove too much for Newcastle's defence, which has conceded three goals in each of their last two away games.

Newcastle's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. Their home victories against Fulham and Nottingham Forest suggest they can be competitive, but their away form is a concern, having lost their last three away matches. This inconsistency could impact their performance against a strong Manchester City side, especially if they struggle to contain City's potent attack.

• Loss: 1-3 vs West Ham (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Fulham (H)

Manchester City have been in top form, winning four out of their last five games. Their only loss came away at Aston Villa, but their home record is impeccable, with convincing victories over Liverpool and Bournemouth. This strong run of form, particularly at home, bodes well for their chances against Newcastle, as they look to continue their winning streak with their attacking firepower.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Liverpool (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Bournemouth (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Aston Villa (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Everton (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Brentford (A)

The head-to-head record between Newcastle and Manchester City shows a slight edge to City, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five encounters. Manchester City's most recent victory was a convincing 4-0 win at home, while Newcastle's last win came in the League Cup in September 2023.

The teams have had competitive matches, with three of the last five games being decided by a single goal, suggesting that while City have the upper hand, Newcastle can still pose a challenge.

Eddie Howe says Newcastle will make a late call on Anthony Gordon’s involvement against Manchester City, with the winger “very close” to full fitness after working hard through the international break. Sandro Tonali is fine despite leaving Italy camp early, and Nick Pope has also been given the all-clear after minor concerns over the break. Full-back Tino Livramento is another close to returning and has been training at the club during the pause in fixtures.

Howe was inducted into Newcastle’s hall of fame this week and described the honour as something he accepts on behalf of “everybody at the club”, saying the event gave the whole camp a lift ahead of a busy winter schedule. He also used the break to dig into Newcastle’s inconsistent form, doing “a lot of analysis” and coming away excited about what the future could look like if the team can find a more consistent high level.

“Having done the work, I am excited to see what the future will bring. I just want to see us consistently play to a high level.” Eddie Howe

• Mateo Kovačić (Ankle) - Out

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will travel to St James’ Park with a near full squad, with only Rodri and Mateo Kovacic unavailable. Rodri is “making good steps” in his recovery but City are determined not to rush him after his recent setback. Guardiola name-checked Arsenal as a “strong” side who are unlikely to drop many points, stressing that City must position themselves for the decisive months from February and March now that the “real season” starts with games every few days after the international break. He also hailed Newcastle as a “top, top team” and insists his side are ready for a serious test on Tyneside.

“We are in November, and in November in this league nothing is final… Now the real season starts. We have to be there in March.” Pep Guardiola

• Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Trippier (DF), Thiaw (DF), Botman (DF), Hall (DF), Guimaraes (MF), Tonali (MF)(If fit), Joelinton (MF)(If fit), Murphy (AT), Woltemade (AT), Barnes (AT)

Newcastle's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure with Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, and Hall, while relying on the creativity and goal-scoring threat of Guimaraes and Tonali, and on the attacking trio of Murphy, Woltemade, and Barnes.

• Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Nunes (DF), Dias (DF), Gvardiol (DF), O'Reilly (DF), Silva (MF), Nico (MF), Foden (MF), Cherki (MF), Haaland (AT), Doku (MF)

• Fixture: Newcastle vs Manchester City
