In their Premier League history, Manchester City have won more matches (31), more away games (12) and scored more goals (101) against Newcastle than against any other opponent.

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League home games, winning six and drawing four. Manchester City, however, was the last to beat them at St James’ Park (3-2 in January).

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 28 league matches (W23 D5), with John Stones keeping that streak alive with a 98th-minute equalizer against Arsenal last time out. 24 of these matches took place in 2024, the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League since the start of a calendar year since Chelsea in 2008 (26).

Newcastle have scored in each of their last 21 Premier League home games, since a 0-0 draw against Leicester in May 2023. This is the longest current home goal streak of any team in the competition.

Newcastle have faced more shots from high turnovers than any other Premier League team this season (15), while no team has scored more such goals so far than Manchester City (2).

Man City have scored more goals (4) and taken more shots (40) from outside the box than any other team in the Premier League this season. 40% of their attempts from distance (16/40) came in the second half of their last match against Arsenal.

Harvey Barnes has been involved in a goal in each of his last four Premier League games for Newcastle (3 goals, 1 assist), his best run ever in the top flight. In total, he averages a goal or assist every 87 minutes for the Magpies (8 goals, 4 assists in 1042 minutes), the best rate of any player at the club (min. 1000 minutes).

Man City’s Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in five Premier League games this season, the first player ever to reach double figures since the start of a campaign in the competition. The Norwegian could become only the second player to score in each of a team’s first six matches of a Premier League season, after Sergio Agüero did so for the Citizens in 2019-20.
