Manchester City will be looking to maintain their winning start to the Premier League season when they host Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Both teams registered comfortable wins in their season openers and will want to keep it that way going into this round.
City are the favourites in this match, but Newcastle will be a tough opponent. The Magpies beat Aston Villa 5-1 in their league opener, a game in which Alexander Isak scored a brace. For City, 2022-23 Golden Boot winner Erling Haaland was the one with a brace as they beat Burnley 3-0. Since that win, City have also won the Super Cup after beating Sevilla on penalties.
