Man City are still on course to become the first team in English football history to complete back-to-back trebles. While they are third in the EPL table, they just are a single point off league-leaders Arsenal and are set for a Champions League quarter-final showdown with Real Madrid next month. Meanwhile, in the FA Cup, they face Newcastle, a side that have posed little threat to Pep Guardiola's unrelenting winning machine in the past, and shouldn't present much challenge this time either.
To call Newcastle’s record against Man City over the past 20 years abysmal would be generous. Newcastle have never won at the Etihad Stadium, and last managed to draw at the ground in 2006. Magpies manager Eddie Howe’s record against Pep’s side is similarly atrocious, he’s only bested his Man City counterpart once. However, offering the Toon Army a sliver of hope is the fact Newcastle actually eliminated Man City from the Carabao Cup this season, but that match was played at St James’ Park.
Historical record favors Man City, as does current form. The home side are unbeaten since December 6, while Newcastle cannot stop leaking goals and losing games. Only Sheffield Utd have conceded more goals away from home than Eddie Howe’s men.
Here's how they line up:
Man City: Ortega, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Bernardo, Haaland, Doku.
Newcastle: Dubravka, Schar, Murphy, Burn, Lascelles, Botman, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Gordon, Isak.
