Newcastle vs Man City Live Stream, Lineups & Score: Premier League Showdown at St James' Park

Newcastle United host Manchester City at St James’ Park on Saturday, 22 November 2025, with kick-off set for 17:30 GMT in front of what promises to be another raucous Tyneside crowd. Both sides enter Matchday 12 with plenty on the line. City are unbeaten in seven league outings and know three points would keep Pep Guardiola’s men on Arsenal’s heels atop the Premier League table, while Eddie Howe’s Magpies—fresh from back-to-back wins—could climb into the top six with a statement result. Latest team news • Newcastle are sweating on late fitness checks for winger Anthony Gordon and full-back Tino Livramento, though Joe Willock returns to the bench after a long lay-off. • City remain without midfield linchpin Rodri and summer signing Mateo Kovačić, but Erling Haaland is available and just one goal shy of becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League strikes. Predicted line-ups Newcastle (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Thiaw, Hall; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes. Man City (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Nico, Bernardo Silva; Foden, Cherki, Doku; Haaland. Head-to-head at a glance • City are unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League matches against Eddie Howe-coached teams (Bournemouth & Newcastle). • The corresponding fixture last season produced a six-goal thriller, ending 3-3 after Miguel Almirón and Kieran Trippier cancelled out early City dominance. • Newcastle’s last home league win over the Sky Blues came in January 2019 courtesy of a late Matt Ritchie penalty. Key battles to watch 1. Bruno Guimarães vs Bernardo Silva – the Brazilian’s bite against the Portuguese maestro’s guile will dictate midfield rhythm. 2. Lewis Hall vs Jeremy Doku – Hall’s first league start since February pits him against City’s most explosive dribbler. 3. Erling Haaland vs Malick Thiaw – the Norwegian’s record-chasing evening meets Newcastle’s imposing new centre-back. Tactics and trends Expect Newcastle to press high in phases before retreating into a compact 4-5-1, looking to spring counter-attacks through Jacob Murphy’s pace. City, likely to monopolise possession, will aim to overload central zones with Phil Foden drifting inside to create triangles with Cherki and Silva. Guardiola may instruct full-backs Nunes and O’Reilly to invert, dragging black-and-white shirts away from Haaland’s preferred channels. Form guide • Newcastle: WLWW (last 4 in all comps) • Man City: WWDW Match odds (via major sportsbooks) Home win 4.50 | Draw 4.00 | Away win 1.70 – bookmakers still back the champions, but City have dropped points in three of their last five league trips to St James’ Park.
