Venue – Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
When it comes to these two sides, they aren’t known for lacking goals in matches. Newcastle United are currently on a high level goal scoring spree, we can also say the same for Manchester City. We expect both sides to have goals from each end.
The Cityzens secured the UEFA Super Cup title in mid week after beating UEFA Europa League Champions Sevilla 5-4 on penalty shoot out. The season already looks bright for Klopp and his boys, as they sit in 3rd spot on the Premier League log after kick starting the new season with a 3 nil win over newly promoted side, Burnley.
Newcastle United who have remained in form since the start of the pre-season, seem not to be stopping their goal scoring spree anytime soon as they recorded the highest goals margin at the start of the 2023/24 English Premier League season last weekend. Sitting as league toppers, they travel to face the current PL champions, Man City in what would be the 51st H2H clash across all competitions.
Man City: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake, Kovacic, Rodri, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish, Haaland
Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Longstaff, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon
This game will be played at the Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Kick-off time is 20:00 GMT. 19.08.2023.
