Manchester City hosts Newcastle United in round 15 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 26th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
The Citizens fulfilled the task of reaching the Champions League playoffs but lost many points in the Premier League. Such a terrible start again hits the chances of the Manchester team to take the Premier League title. Guardiola's players regularly make mistakes in defensive actions, which they are unable to cover with a traditionally powerful attack. The coaching staff works with experienced and talented players, who should bring trophies and glory to the British grandee. But not everything is so simple. The Citizens have not yet conquered the European Cup peaks. De Bruyne, Aguero, Sterling, Walker, Fernardinho, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, and others deserve to win the Champions League.

Steve Bruce continues to keep his players in the middle of the standings. For modern Newcastle, such a result is quite acceptable. The Magpies steadily gain points and often beat their direct competitors in the standings. Bruce professes power football with perfect physical readiness of his charges, so many of the skillful players did not take root in his team. Due to such a game style, the club avoids the exhausting struggle for survival. Now the leaders of Newcastle are such players as Wilson (eight goals in the Premier League), Fraser, Hendrick, Longstaff, Lascelles, and Almiron. The backbone of the team allows them to stand firmly on their feet. For a leap up, the Magpies need a qualitative strengthening of 3-4 positions by players who are used to winning and achieving great results.
Manchester gradually gains momentum and already resembles that locomotive that crushed rivals in the last season. Newcastle will use counterattacks that Guardiola's opponents always have. However, the level of the Citizens is a cut above that of their rivals. And they will probably manage to win with a difference of at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap
