Newcastle v Manchester City Betting Tips [21 August 2022]

Newcastle United are yet to concede a goal in the Premier League this season but that's probably about to end. They are fifth in the table and host the current league leaders Manchester City. United haven't been making the standout transfers that the top clubs have been making. Instead, they have been raiding Burnley with both Wood and Pope joining this year. The second half of last season went well for them but if they are to think of challenging for the top four, some bigger signings are needed. They have four points from their first two games with a home win over Nottingham Forest and draw at Brighton and Hove Albion. Eight of their last nine home league games have been won with the only loss being a 1-0 defeat by Liverpool in April.

Now comes the toughest test of the season against high-flying Manchester City. The league champions have made a great start to the new season with a 2-0 win at West Ham and 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth. Two games, six points, six goals and none conceded, oh how the other side of Manchester must be jealous. They top the table and are already four points clear of Liverpool. City last lost a Premier League away game on the opening weekend of last season. Since that loss at Tottenham, they have gone 19 away league fixtures without defeat and that includes a 4-0 win at Newcastle. Back them to get another away victory here.
