Following their amazing performances in the first 2 games, we expect Guardiola and his men to continue their progress and win this game against the magpies.
An open game is expected as both teams like to attack and score especially considering their previous head-to-head meetings to conclude that there will be at least 3 goals.
Total games: 25
Newcastle: 2
Manchester City: 21
Draw: 2
Newcastle:
The Magpies had a very difficult season last year, one to forget, especially until the January transfer window when the new owner of the team gave the green light to Eddie Howe to make the necessary changes and transfers to save the team and keep it in the first division. After a successful win and great results, Howe and his team accomplished the mission. This season, Newcastle had an average preseason as they started the Premier League in a good way after winning their first game against Nottingham and a draw against Brighton to keep the team undefeated.

Manchester City:
On the other hand, Manchester City is always a candidate for the Premier League. Guardiola and his men keep fighting every year for all the championships as they started their new Premier League season as champions with 2 consecutive wins with huge results as they stand on top of the table currently. Their contenders such as Chelsea and Liverpool are still suffering to find their consistency as Guardiola is eager to collect all the 3 points to open the game since the beginning of the league.
