Key Statistics for Manchester City v Newcastle
- Manchester City have maintained an undefeated streak in their most recent 21 Premier League matches at home against Newcastle, securing victory in all of the past 16 encounters. Within the annals of English top-tier football, only Everton boasts a more extended consecutive home winning sequence against a single adversary (22 vs Fulham between 1961 and 2018).
- Newcastle are aiming to achieve their inaugural league double over Manchester City since the 1983-84 season (second tier), and their first in the premier division since 1955-56. Nevertheless, their record of 20 matches contested at the Etihad Stadium represents the highest number of appearances by any team at a specific ground without registering a single win in Premier League history (two draws, eighteen losses).
- After allowing four goals in a 5-4 triumph against Fulham in December, Manchester City have permitted merely eight goals across 12 Premier League fixtures, a figure unmatched by any other team during that period (matchday 15 onwards), thanks to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma thwarting precisely three expected goals on target (xGoT) during this timeframe (11 expected goals on target, 8 goals allowed).
- All of Newcastle’s most recent nine Premier League away victories were secured versus clubs positioned in the lower half of the league standings at the start of the respective match days. They have failed to secure a victory in their last 10 away encounters against teams occupying the upper half of the table (three draws, seven losses) since their 3-1 triumph at Nottingham Forest in November 2024, furthermore, they remain without a win in 37 visits to clubs ranked within the top two (five draws, thirty-two losses) following their 3-1 victory over Arsenal in December 2001.
- Commencing from the 2010-11 campaign, English head coaches have overseen 76 Premier League away fixtures against Manchester City – with merely one managing a victory, Roy Hodgson guiding Crystal Palace to a 3-2 success in December 2018 (eight draws, sixty-seven losses).
