The sixth round of the Premier League will kick off on Saturday at St. James' Park, where Newcastle United will host Manchester City. Here is the expert prediction from the Dailysports team.
Newcastle United
The Magpies have shown a fairly solid performance in the opening rounds of the Premier League this season. After five matches, Newcastle has collected 10 points, placing them sixth in the standings.
They are only three points behind the Premier League leaders. It's worth noting that Newcastle plays for victory in every match, but points aren't always guaranteed.
Last weekend, Newcastle faced Fulham in an away game, suffering a 1-3 defeat. Before that, they claimed a 2-1 away victory over Wolverhampton. Newcastle also advanced past Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, winning via a penalty shootout.
Manchester City
The Citizens have dominated English football for several years now and show no signs of slowing down. However, for the second consecutive season, Arsenal is closely challenging Pep Guardiola's side. Last weekend, City hosted Arsenal and narrowly escaped defeat.
Arsenal won the first half 2-1 but were reduced to 10 men. City bombarded Arsenal's goal throughout the second half, eventually equalizing in added time.
Before that, City also drew at home against Inter Milan in the Champions League. Midweek, Manchester City secured a 2-1 home victory over Watford in the League Cup.
