Is Manchester City vs Newcastle on UK TV? How to watch Premier League clash, live stream details and KO time

Fresh from yet another trophy, Manchester City will now look ahead to their first fixture at the Etihad Stadium in the 2023/24 season.

Pep Guardiola’s side beat Sevilla to win the UEFA Super Cup following a tense penalty shoot-out. Goals from Cole Palmer and Youssef En-Nesyri meant all was even at the end of the 90 minutes with the Premier League champions finally edging to victory over the Spaniards with a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win.

They will return to the Premier League where they come up against the newest members of the Champions League, Newcastle. Both sides enjoyed phenomenal success last weekend with the Citizens beating newly promoted Burnley 3-0 and the Magpies defeating Aston Villa 5-1.

Guardiola, has, however made a subtle dig at the scheduling and said after the Super Cup win that his team will not be having a drop of alcohol despite the win, adding: “We’ll recover as much as possible because again, from Greece, thank you so much to the Premier League to let us play on Saturday and not on Sunday or Monday. Thank you so much.”

Head-to-head

The two clubs have met on 188 occasions in their history with Manchester City winning 75 games to Newcastle’s 72. Newcastle have not beaten City since January 2019 with Pep Guardiola’s squad winning seven of the nine subsequent fixtures, and drawing on the other two occasions.

Their last meeting came in March 2023 and the treble champions beat Newcastle 2-0.

Team news

Not long after the Champions League final appearance ended early, Kevin de Bruyne aggravated a previous hamstring problem during City’s recent win over Burnley and is now set to be on the sidelines for about three or four months to recover.

In City’s penalty shoot-out win over Sevilla, Bernardo Silva made an unexpected return following an illness and he is likely to be one of several alterations considered for tomorrow’s fixture.

As for Newcastle, they sustained no new injury concerns following their 5-1 win over Aston Villa but Emil Krafth (knee), Joe Willock (hamstring) and Javier Manquillo (groin) will remain on the sidelines. It is, however, unlikely that any of the three would have broken into the starting XI anyway.
