Preview

Etihad Stadium will host this evening at 19:30 the round number 26 of Premier League, where will be face to face Manchester City and Newcastle.

Manchester City have a simple task tonight with Newcastle, because they are not a strong team and they have serious problems with the attack. The last head to head confrontation between the two teams ended up with a 2-0 victory for Newcastle.

I don’t think we can afford to drop too many more points at home – if any – and if I’m honest, I think we need to win them all. Hopefully, this time around, if we win our third title it will be because our away form has been the bedrock.” said J. Milner.

City need Yaya Toure to be in the mood and, with their Champions League tie with Barcelona coming up next week, they should look to get this game won as quickly as possible. Moreover, City is undefeated in 28 of their last 31 home matches in the Premier League. Manchester is coming after a great result at Stoke City ( 4-1) .

Bony is available following the culmination of the Africa Cup: “It’s not easy because I’ve just arrived from Africa and I will have had five days of training before we play Newcastle,” he told City’s official website. “I have to take it step by step and wait for the right opportunity to present itself.

James Milner will not be on the field due to a serious injury, but he will be replaced by Jesus Navas.

Newcastle United could be without Paul Dummett for the rest of the season after he injured his knee cap in the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace last time out. They are ranked on the 11th place in the standing and their moral is not good, despite this John Carver insists Newcastle will travel to the Etihad Stadium with confidence.

“We are going there knowing that we are playing against a good side, but we are not going to be fearful because we’ve proved that we can go there and get a result,” “We know that City have a huge Champions League game coming up on Tuesday against Barcelona, so what changes Pellegrini will make, I’m not entirely sure” said Carver .

In 13 games played away this season, Newcastle recorded three wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Newcastle’s last league win over Man City was a 1-0 victory in September 2005, with Michael Owen scoring the game’s only goal.

It is hard to see over Manchester victory, they are desperate for a positive result from this Saturday, because they are seven points behind leaders Chelseaand and are very motivated to win tonight’s match.
