Citizens failed to win their last two households - against Arsenal (0:2) and Hull City (1:1). The form of Manchester City at home in previous years wore them a championship trophies. To try to catch the leader Chelsea, citizens must take the first step towards improvement of their games at "Etihad" against Newcastle. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.30 for a home win, with a draw at 6.00 and 11.00 for the victory of the guests.
Before hosting Barcelona in the Champions League, citizens have the task to improve their performance at their stadium. Worst form at "Etihad" cost the gap in the standings with the leader Chelsea. Convincing success against Newcastle will provide the necessary self-confidence of the team before the crucial first match with Barcelona. Man City enjoys a 10-day break after not playing in tournaments for the FA Cup since dropped earlier in the season. So, citizens are rested and will try to repeat his performance from the visit of Stoke City last weekend. In the game with Stoke, scorer Sergio Aguero get back after treated injury. Argentine already trained, but Pellegrini will decide in the minutes before the match with Newcastle if he is ready to start the game or to be reserved for the meeting with Barcelona.
Newcastle won 5 of a possible 9 points in their last 3 games, as the new team manager John Carver may regret it. Newcastle missed advance of the lead against Stoke City (1:1) and against Crystal Palace (1:1). However, Carver enjoys a good first day ahead of Newcastle. Before the visit at "Etihad", the mood in the team is upbeat, as the last match between the two teams in this stadium ended with success for Newcastle. The victory came at the end of October last year with 2:0 in League Cup and the Magpies are hoping for a similar development now. Problems for Carver before Saturday`s match are connected again with huge list of injured players. With various injures are Siem de Jong, Rolando Aarons, Steven Taylor, Rob Elliot, Paul Dummet, Cheick Tiote, Ryan Taylor and Jonas Gutierrez. The last has already resumed training after a long battle with cancer, but is not physically ready to play.
Citizens will try to repeat their performance of the game with Stoke City. If they didn`t fail to do it, we will be witnesses to a spectacular game on Saturday night. Manchester City and Newcastle score a lot of goals at the "Etihad" and we think that now we will see a lot of shoots in this match between them.
