Preview– Manchester City vs Newcastle
Manchester City’s Form
City ended last season with utter domination winning the Premier League and Champions League to complete a historic treble. In Pre-Season they had two wins against Yokohama F Marinos 3-5 and Bayern Munch 1-2 . In their final game they lost 1-2 to Athletico Madrid .
The Manchester City squad is as strong as ever and despite the loss of Gundogan on a free transfer to Barcelona alongside the departure of Mahrez to Al-Ahli for £30,000,000. The signings of Kovačić from Chelsea for £25,000,000 and Joško Gvardiol from RP Leipzig for £77,500,000 strengthen the side further. That’s without mentioning the remaining major players like De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and co.
In the season-opener they drew with Arsenal 1-1 despite taking a 77th-minute lead through Cole Palmer a 90+11-minute goal from Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the equaliser and City lost 4-1 on penalties. Although I wouldn’t let that deter you from them from this match, Guardiola will have prioritised this one.
In the Premier League opener, they had a routine 0-3 victory against Burnley with the goals coming from an Erling Haaland double and a Rodri goal. Mid-Week they were also able to land their first trophy of the season winning the UEFA Super Cup 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after normal time in the match they had 23 shots to Sevilla’s 8.
