Newcastle United v Manchester City: when are they playing and how to watch their next Premier League fixture

Newcastle United are hoping to maintain their unbeaten run as they face Manchester City in their first major match of the season this Sunday.

Eddie Howe’s team enjoyed a strong start to their Premier League 2022/23 campaign after winning 2-0 against Nottingham Forest and a nil-nil draw against Brighton Hove & Albion.

And with a clean sheet on their side, Newcastle United will be aiming not to concede any goals against the former champions, since they are the only two clubs yet to concede a goal.

However, based on their previous encounters, the Sky Blues appear to have an advantage over the Magpies as Pep Guardiola’s squad scored nine goals without conceding, including a 4-0 loss at St James’ Park in December.

But with a strong start to the season, Newcastle United appear to have a new-found confidence to face their next opponents, though it is uncertain whether it is enough to get three points from.

So, will there be a repeat of the crushing loss at their home ground this Sunday or will they finally claim a win against the football giants?

Here is everything you need to know about the match.

How did Manchester City fare in their last match?

Last Saturday, City defeated Bournemouth 4-0, with goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, and Phil Foden, as well as an own goal by Jefferson Lerma.

Guardiola’s team dominated the game, controlling 67% of the ball and limiting the Cherries to only one shot on goal.

And at the start of the season, they defeated West Ham 2-0, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland.

When is Newcastle vs Man City?

The game kicks off at 4.30pm on Sunday, August 21.

Is Newcastle vs Man City on TV?
