BBC pundit and former Chelsea forward Chris Sutton believes Manchester City will beat Newcastle United when the two teams meet. The Magpies welcome the Cityzens to St. James' Park for a Premier League encounter on Sunday, August 21. Sutton feels a City win is inevitable given their form so far and backed them to pick up a 3-1 victory. Pep Guardiola's men enter this contest on the back of a 2-0 win against West Ham United and a 4-0 thrashing of AFC Bournemouth. Newcastle, meanwhile, began their Premier League campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory at home against newly promoted Nottingham Forest. Eddie Howe's side then drew 0-0 away to Brighton & Hove Albion in their second match.

He told the BBC: "There will be a great atmosphere at St James' Park and Newcastle might create one or two chances for Callum Wilson. I can only see a Manchester City win here, though. They have not really put a foot wrong so far." The Englishman went on to add that Howe's men can't focus on City's star summer arrival Erling Haaland alone as other players could hurt them: "Lots has been made of how few touches Erling Haaland had against Bournemouth, but he still made one of them count with his pass to Ilkay Gundogan for the opening goal. "If the opposition are going to focus on stopping Haaland, then it is going to leave space for their other attacking players, and we already know how dangerous they are." Manchester City easily beat Newcastle United in the Premier League last season Manchester City handed Newcastle United two heavy defeats in the Premier League last season. The two teams first met at St. James' Park in December 2021, with City running out 4-0 winners. Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo put the visitors in the driving seat before half-time while Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling scored in the second half.
