What is Manchester City and Newcastle's form ahead of this game?

Manchester City enter this game on a six-match streak without a loss. During that run, the Citizens have won four and have added two draws, one against Manchester United and the other one against West Brom. The team's last match ended in a 4-1 win facing Arsenal in the League Cup, while their previous Premier League game concluded in a one-nil win against Southampton.

Newcastle will face the Citizens on a three-game streak without a loss, with two of those matches concluding in losses against Leeds (5-2) and Brentford (1-0) in the League Cup. The Magpies' last win away from home took place on November 27, when they took home all the points when they clashed against Crystal Palace.

What is Manchester City and Newcastle's current position in the 2020-21 EPL season?

Manchester City will get to this clash in eighth place of the tournament, with their record showing six wins, five draws, and two losses. After a slow start, Pep Guardiola's men have been able to find the back of the net 19 times, while their defense has only conceded 12 times. Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez have been the team's most consistent strikers, finding the back of the net four times each.

Newcastle will make the trip to Etihad Stadium in 12th place after winning five, drawing three, and losing five more games. The Magpies have conceded more goals (22) than those they have scored, which explains their shaky form this season. Luckily for them, striker Callum Wilson is one of the tournament's top scorers with eight goals to his name, which should give hope to their fans about a possible resurgence.
