Manchester City will look to overcome a tough challenge against Newcastle United this weekend as they look to catch league leaders Arsenal. Here are the best betting picks for the game.
Manchester City are now five points behind league leaders Arsenal after the Gunners won their game in hand against Everton. Pep Guardiola’s side know they cannot afford any further slip-ups if they are to retain their Premier League title.
Fresh off their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United, Newcastle United will hope to get a positive result to help them get back into the top four. The Magpies are currently fifth, four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, having played two fewer games.
John Stones and Aymeric Laporte are major doubts for Manchester City, as they are both out with a hamstring injury and illness, respectively.
Nick Pope will return for Newcastle after missing the Carabao Cup final due to suspension, while Emil Krafth is sidelined with an ACL injury.
