Preview: Man City vs Newcastle
Manchester City welcomes Newcastle United to the Etihad Stadium on February 21, 2026, for a high-stakes encounter, with Pep Guardiola's side looking to maintain their stranglehold over the Magpies at home. City enters the match after a short break, having not played in midweek, which has allowed for the recovery of key players, including Erling Haaland, who is expected to feature despite recent injury concerns. While City has faced some defensive setbacks with long-term injuries to Josko Gvardiol, the return of Ruben Dias and the versatility of Matheus Nunes and Marc Guehi should provide a solid base. City’s attacking flair, spearheaded by Haaland and potentially supported by the form of Nico O'Reilly and Bernardo Silva in midfield, makes them overwhelming favorites to extend their 16-game winning home streak against Newcastle in the Premier League.

Newcastle United, under Eddie Howe, arrives in Manchester off the back of a confidence-boosting 6-1 Champions League victory over Qarabag, but their optimism is severely tempered by a massive injury blow to captain Bruno Guimaraes, who is sidelined for two months. The Magpies have historically struggled at the Etihad, and the absence of their main creative force in midfield makes this an arduous task, particularly with Kieran Trippier needing to be at his best against a fluid City attack. Howe will likely rely on the energy of Joelinton and Sandro Tonali in the middle, with Anthony Gordon potentially operating as a central striker to utilize his pace on the counter-attack. The Magpies will aim to break their dismal record at the Etihad by employing a compact defensive structure, hoping to catch City on the break and complete a rare season double over them.
