Based on both teams’ form, I should really go for a Manchester City win here, but sometimes gut instinct takes over and this is one of those occasions. Newcastle have struggled on the road and been flat and dismal in the away matches when they have dropped points, but things are different at home and they are capable of anything at St James’ Park. City beat a very average Liverpool side at Etihad Stadium before the international break and how they get on here will probably be a better gauge of where they are really at.
