Two Premier League sides will meet in this exciting Fourth Round Capital One Cup match, when Manchester City host a motivated Newcastle United team. This will be the club's second meeting this season, after the Citizens won their Premier League matchup 2-0 back in August.
Manuel Pellegrini's crew arrived to this round after destroying Sheffield Wednesday with a 7-0 score, but their last Premier League appearance raised doubts about the team's possibilities after losing 2-1 against West Ham United. Manchester City may see Samir Nasri return to active duty, having recovered from a groin injury. On the absentee list, Frank Lampard will miss this match due to a thigh injury.
Newcastle arrive to this match after winning back-to-back games against Leicester and Tottenham. The Magpies have played two Capital One matches, earning victories against Gillingham and Crystal Palace. Coach Alan Pardew will try to get Newcastle through the fourth round for the first time ever since taking control of the black and white team. Pardew will not have key players available for this match, such as Emmanuel Riviere and Papiss Cissé.
If you like to predict the outcome of a match based on statistics, then you should pick the Sky Blues, since they have won their last five matches against Newcastle, the last three with identical scores of 2-0.
