Coming from the back of a very exciting Manchester derby(A game in which i got the scoreline prediction correct thank you very much)Manchester City will be eager to put that behind them and bounce back against the struggling Newcastle United.
The league is getting heated up at this time as we are nearing the end of the world..i mean year..the end of the year and No doubt Man city will want to close the gap with local rivals Man united.Newcastle will also want to keep the momentum going as they seek to climb up the league table after a freakishly poor start to the campaign which can be blamed mostly on the Europa league,injuries to certain Key players and Papiss not being able to find his Cisse.So both clubs will definately go out with the intention to win this game.
Sad news for Pardew is 2 of his best players Hateen Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye are still sidelined with injuries the cause where as the only players out for Manchini are Clichy(doubtful),Nasri,Kompany,Milner and Kolarov(With Micah Richards out till January).
The absense of Kompany means that most likely Nastastic and Lescott/Toure will pair up at the back,which is abit of a worrying factor for Manchini but i'm sure his squads Attacking prowness will comend for their defensive vulnerabilities.Newcastle will probably have Ba,Cisse and Marveux upfront with Tiotie controlling the midfield.Coloccini and Perch will most likely return to the middle.
No doubt this will be a cracker that might pull off a few surprises,My score prediction is;
Newcastle utd 1-3 Manchester City
I just can't see Man city losing this game,despite Newcastle being at home City should easily dominate the midfield and hurt Newcastle at their own backyard.
Venue:Saint James' Park
Time:12:45GMT
