Event / fixture:: Man City vs. Newcastle
Event date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 at 7:00 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Man City @ 1.49 (Betfair)

Newcastle picked up a rare away win over the struggling Tottenham last week, but the Magpies have gone 0-2-5 as the away underdog over the last twelve months and, going back to 2007, Newcastle have lost sixteen consecutive Premier League games at the City of Manchester Stadium. The combined goals from their last six Premier League visits to this venue is an eye-watering 19 goals to nil. Five of those six wins to nil were by 2+ goal margins. Man City boast the league’s best 10-2-1 home record this season. For Newcastle, this fixture is sandwiched between their two midweek UEFA Champions League playoff clashes, while Man City have no midweek commitments before or after this game.
