Newcastle United will provide a tough test for Manchester City | OneFootball

Manchester City will take on Newcastle United tomorrow at St. James Park. The champions will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season against Eddie Howe’s side. But the Magpies will pose a tough test for Pep Guardiola’s side. In a week where City learned that Rodri will miss the rest of the season, they will have to be at their best to beat Newcastle tomorrow.

Newcastle United will enter tomorrow’s match sitting 6th in the Premier League table. They haven’t been at their best since the 24/25 season began. But what they have shown in the first 5 games of the new campaign is an ability to grind out results. Although they were beaten by Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage last weekend, they had made an impressive start to the new season. They are a team-packed with quality, so Manchester City will need to be at their best tomorrow.

A look at the Newcastle squad shows just how much quality they have. They have match winners such as Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Alexander Isak in their ranks. Although Isak is in doubt for tomorrow’s match due to a broken toe. Eddie Howe told the media today that Isak may miss tomorrow’s match. But backed by their passionate home support City will have a tough test on their hands at St. James Park.

Manchester City knows what awaits them at St. James Park tomorrow. A quality opponent and a hostile venue awawaitCity’s 3-2 win last season at the venue after some late Kevin De Bruyne and Oscar Bobb heroics highlights the challenge at hand. But in a week where they lost Rodri for the season it may be the perfect venue tor City to perform. The champions are wounded with the loss of their midfield general. But the opportunity to get away and play in a hostile environment could be the ideal setting for City to make a statement tomorrow.

But to do that Manchester City will have to overcome a tough Newcastle United test. The Magpies will be up for tomorrow’s match. They always are when a big team comes to down. It’s against this backdrop that Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season. If they can overcome Newcastle United at St. James Park it may set them up for what lies ahead in the coming weeks.
