Newcastle United vs Manchester City 27/09/2023 – Preview
The Magpies set a new Premier League record when beating Sheffield United 8-0 on Sunday, while Manchester City needed a late goal to win 2-1 at Bramall Lane.
The Blades’ performance was noticeably inferior to that of the one against City, but it nevertheless demonstrates how dangerous the Toon can be.
It was the first time in the history of the Premier League that eight different players had scored a goal in the same match.
After holding AC Milan to a 0-0 draw at San Siro just days before the 8-0 win, Wednesday’s match is a sobering lesson in what it means to compete at the highest level.
City are accustomed to playing frequently and only made three changes at the weekend, but it would not be surprising to see a number of new players feature in this game.
Although City have a strong record against Newcastle, it is only natural that they will have one eye on a nine-day period that includes matches against Wolves, RB Leipzig, and, crucially, title rivals Arsenal.
The situation is not very different for Eddie Howe’s side, as they will face Burnley, Paris Saint-Germain, and West Ham in the same time frame.
Pep Guardiola’s quip about starting himself after their weekend win over Nottingham Forest suggests that he is considering heavily rotating his squad.
That opens the door to a cupset if it’s fair to call it that. While the Toon may not possess the quality City do, there’s no doubt that they have a deeper squad at present.
The uncertainty surrounding this match makes the odds of a Newcastle win at 2/1 too good to pass up.
After all, we can’t discount the possibility that Howe could take advantage of the opportunity to bag a win over the European champions.
