Reigning English champions, Manchester City, will welcome top-four hopefuls Newcastle United to the Etihad Stadium for a highly anticipated Premier League clash.
The hosts are currently trailing behind Arsenal by five points in their bid to clinch the top spot.
However, with 13 games remaining, they still have a chance to regain their title-winning form and close in on the leaders.
In contrast to their stellar performance in previous seasons, Manchester City has suffered several setbacks this term.
They clinched three wins, one draw and a defeat in their past five Premier League games.
Though heavily backed as favorites, the Sky Blues were held back right after securing crucial victories over Aston Villa and Arsenal when they drew 1-1 against both Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig.
However, Pep Guardiola’s squad bounced back from these closely contested matches with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend before winning 3-0 against Bristol City in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United will seek another opportunity to break into the top four standings following disappointing losses leading up to this game.
Fans of both sides can expect an enthralling match filled with action and high stakes as both teams will aim for nothing but victory in this encounter.
