Newcastle Utd stand in the relegation zone and they desperately need points in order to move up in the safer zone. They have three points less and match less than Norwich, who stand out of the relegation zone, so in the case of win Newcastle will have equal points as Norwich. In the last Premier League match they smashed Swansea 3-0 and they are full of confidence, but this time they will play against much stronger opponent. In order to beat Manchester City, home side have to their best and repeat the good performance from the previous game. Home team invested a lot of money in team this season and they have good players, but they don’t have results and that’s the reason why they are fighting to avoid relegation. This is the crucial match for Newcastle, so in the case of loss it won’t be easy to stay in the best football league in England.

Manchester City stand at the 3rd position and the title race for them is over, but they want to finish the season in the Top 3 and qualify in the Champions League directly. They have made amazing success in the UEFA Champions League after they eliminated PSG in the Quarter-finals and in the semi-finals they will face Real Madrid. Visitors are in the great form with three consecutive wins in all competitions. In the last Premier League match Man smashed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 0-3 and they will be fully motivated to take another three points. Their top scorer Kun Aguero is looking for his 100th goal in Premier League, he is in the great form after scored a hat-trick against Chelsea and without any doubt he will be fully motivated to hit the net at least once.
