Manchester City and Newcastle United will go head-to-head on Saturday night almost a year to the day after the two sides played out one of the games of the 2022/23 season.

In August last year they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw, but in the return game at the Etihad it was Pep Guardiola's side who ran out 2-0 winners as they steamed towards the treble. And City will be home again this time around, although the club are fuming at being made to play just 72 hours after their Super Cup clash with Sevilla.

City opened their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 win at Burnley. But Eddie Howe's men were equally impressive, thrashing Aston Villa 5-1 to suggest they won't be letting up after securing Champions League qualification last season.

When is Man City vs Newcastle?

Newcastle's trip to the Etihad Stadium will kick off at 8pm on Saturday.

And Howe will want his side to put up more of a fight than they did at the same venue last March. It was goals from Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva that day which proved the difference.

City of course, went on to not only claim the title but also FA Cup and Champions League glory as well. And Newcastle recovered from the blow in order to finish fourth, rejoining Europe's elite for the first time since 2002/03.

How to watch?

This will be the fifth and final Premier League game played on Saturday and one of five live clashes being shown over the course of the weekend. It will be on TNT Sports and coverage starts from 7pm.
