Manchester City face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, so we simulated the clash to predict the final score
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both got on the scoresheet at the weekend as City beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, keeping up their 100 per cent winning start to the Premier League season. Rodri was sent off in the victory, meaning Pep Guardiola will have to deal with more problems ahead of the trip to St. James’ Park.
We predict that the hosts could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Botman, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Tonali; Murphy, Isak, Gordon. City started on top, and it was almost the dream start for Oscar Bobb who was played through one-on-one with Nick Pope in the opening stages, but the 'keeper tipped the winger's effort onto the crossbar before smothering the loose ball in the box. The pressure mounted from City who were dominating the hosts, and just before the break Guardiola's side broke the deadlock.
