Game Preview
Manchester City and Newcastle United, two of the weekend’s great winners in the Premier League, meet at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. Last weekend, Newcastle thrashed Aston Villa 5-1 at St. James’ Park, while Pep Guardiola and Manchester City beat Sevilla to win the UEFA Super Cup.
Cole Palmer scored a wonderful opening goal in the Community Shield against Arsenal, but it didn’t count. Ten days later, he scored the equalizer against Sevilla in Piraeus after Youssef En-Nesyri had given the visitors the lead. Nine penalty kicks rippled the net before Nemanja Gudelj rattled the crossbar in the UEFA Super Cup, which featured the Europa League holders and renowned continental specialists carving out several openings against the Champions League winners at Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis.
The Man City fans suffered through years of European heartbreak before finally seeing their team win two continental honors in the span of two months; their Super Cup victory came after a relatively easy opening 3-0 Premier League victory over Burnley. Vincent Kompany, manager of the Clarets, reunited with his former student as he attempted to pull off an opening-day upset. However, Erling Haaland’s usual brace quickly dashed any dreams, and then Rodri added the finishing touches to make sure Man City got off to a strong start.
Manchester City’s 3-0 win at Turf Moor moved them up to third place in the Premier League table, but Eddie Howe’s rampaging Newcastle team is currently in first after a dominant performance against a disjointed Aston Villa squad. Unai Emery’s high defensive line was repeatedly exposed by Newcastle, who scored four goals in the second half thanks to goals from Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson, and Harvey Barnes after Moussa Diaby had equalized an early Sandro Tonali opener.
Even though their Premier League unbeaten streak was extended to five games after their 5-1 thrashing of Villa, Newcastle still managed to win only one of their final four away games in the 2022-23 season, and they have conceded in each of their last nine away games since their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in January.
