Context: After the Cup Battle

This Premier League clash comes just 17 days after these two sides complete their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at the Etihad (February 4). The outcome of that cup tie will add extra intrigue to this league encounter, whether City have secured a Wembley final appearance or Newcastle have defended their trophy with another semi-final victory. The two clubs have developed an intense recent rivalry, with the Magpies proving particularly difficult opponents for Pep Guardiola's side.

Head-to-Head Record

Manchester City and Newcastle have met 194 times across all competitions, with City holding a marginal advantage with 79 wins to Newcastle's 73 and 42 draws. In the Premier League era since 1995, City have dominated with 34 victories from 52 meetings compared to Newcastle's 10. Remarkably, City have scored in their last 33 consecutive Premier League meetings against Newcastle – the longest scoring streak one team has against another in the division's history. However, Newcastle have proven difficult opponents under Eddie Howe, winning cup ties and finally breaking through in the league.

Last Meeting: Barnes Brace Stuns City

Newcastle recorded a memorable 2-1 victory at St James' Park on November 22, 2025, with Harvey Barnes scoring twice in seven minutes to secure Eddie Howe's first Premier League win over Pep Guardiola at the 17th attempt. Barnes opened the scoring in the 63rd minute with a superb 25-yard strike after excellent work from Bruno Guimarães. Rúben Dias equalised five minutes later with a deflected volley, but Barnes restored Newcastle's lead in the 70th minute, converting from close range after Guimarães's header hit the crossbar. Barnes became the first Newcastle player to score twice against City in the Premier League since Alan Shearer in November 2003 – their 40th meeting in the competition since that Shearer brace.

Manchester City 2025-26 Season

Pep Guardiola's side are chasing Arsenal for the Premier League title after a trophyless 2024-25 campaign. Erling Haaland became the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goals (111 games) in December 2025. Phil Foden has rediscovered his best form, while summer signings Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush have added creativity and goals. With Rodri's Ballon d'Or-winning influence in midfield and Gianluigi Donnarumma between the posts, City remain formidable. However, Newcastle have emerged as a genuine bogey team – City have won only 6 of their last 15 meetings against the Magpies under Guardiola.

Newcastle United 2025-26 Season

Eddie Howe's side are the defending Carabao Cup champions after ending a 70-year domestic trophy drought by defeating Liverpool 2-1 in March 2025. This season has been inconsistent in the league, but the Magpies remain formidable at St James' Park, where they've won 11 of 13 Premier League home games since 2025. Key players include goalkeeper Nick Pope, Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães, former City target Sandro Tonali, and attacking talents Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy and summer signing Nick Woltemade. Newcastle also reached the Champions League knockout stages, demonstrating their continued progress under Howe's stewardship.
