Sat Sep 28 14:04:27 UTC 2024: ## City Head to St. James’ Park Looking to Extend Unbeaten Run

**Newcastle** will be looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season when they host **Manchester City** at St. James’ Park on Saturday, 28th September, at 12:30 BST.

The Magpies suffered a 3-1 loss to **Fulham** last weekend, while **City** remain unbeaten after a thrilling 2-2 draw with **Arsenal** at the Etihad.

**Guardiola’s** side will be without **Rodri** for the rest of the season due to a ruptured ACL, while **Kevin De Bruyne** is also expected to miss the match. However, **Erling Haaland** will be aiming to extend his run of scoring in consecutive league matches to six.

**Eddie Howe’s** side will be hoping to capitalize on City’s injury woes, but they will need to improve on their recent performance against Fulham, where they looked vulnerable in possession. **Harvey Barnes** will be looking to continue his goalscoring form after netting in three consecutive league games.

The match will be available to watch on TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate and discovery+.

**Key Talking Points:**

* **City’s injury woes:** How will the absence of Rodri and De Bruyne affect their midfield?
* **Haaland’s hot streak:** Can he continue his goalscoring form and break Newcastle’s resistance?
* **Newcastle’s response:** Will they bounce back from their defeat to Fulham and pose a threat to City?

**Last time they met:** City knocked Newcastle out of the FA Cup in March with a 2-0 victory thanks to a brace from **Bernardo Silva**.
