Manchester City can close the gap at the top of the table on Saturday night when they host Newcastle United, and we have picked out a four-leg bet builder for the crucial contest.
Manchester City play host to Newcastle United in Saturday’s late Premier League fixture at 8pm and we have picked out a four-leg bet builder for this match.
Pep Guardiola’s men have a chance to reduce the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table to just two points with a win at the Etihad this weekend.
Newcastle have bounced back lately after a disappointing few weeks, reeling off three successive wins in all competitions, all of which were on the road.
Can the Magpies continue their rich vein of form, or will City claim their third win on the spin over Newcastle this season and pile the pressure on the Gunners? Here are our Premier League betting selections.
Selections
- Manchester City to win @ 19/40
- Antoine Semenyo to score any time @ 1/1
- Anthony Gordon to have 1+ shots on target @ 10/11
- Both teams to score @ 11/20

6/1
Citizens hitting top form
City are on a four-game winning run, which began with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final, while they are unbeaten in seven, drawing only once.
Another win on Saturday will see Guardiola’s side close the gap to Arsenal and this is surely plenty of incentive for the team as they bid to reclaim the title they lost to Liverpool last term, while they have the confidence of beating Newcastle in both legs of their last-four tie in the EFL Cup.
The Magpies could find solace in the fact they won the reverse Premier League tie between the clubs in November, but this game is City’s to lose.
Leg 1: Manchester City to win @ 19/40
Semenyo maintain excellent City start
Guardiola secured the services of Semenyo for a fee of £65m in the January transfer window and that is turning out to be good business.
The Ghanian has scored five goals already for City across just nine games, including one in the 2-0 win over Newcastle in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
With three goals in his five league games for the club, expect Semenyo’s excellent form to continue this weekend.
Leg 2: Antoine Semenyo to score any time @ 1/1
Confident Gordon can be a threat
Anthony Gordon shone for Newcastle in midweek, scoring four goals against Qarabag in the first half of their Champions League knockout play-off first-leg tie.
The England forward now ranks second in the Champions League for goals and assists this term with 12, but he needs to translate that form into the Premier League.
He might have registered just 0.6 shots on target per game so far, but Gordon will be full of confidence and could pose a big threat to City, particularly as a potential penalty taker.
Leg 3: Anthony Gordon to have 1+ shots on target @ 10/11
Magpies can trouble City backline
Both teams have scored in two of the three games between these two this season and four of the last seven fixtures would have seen this bet land.
In Newcastle’s last seven games, both teams have found the back of the net, while the Magpies themselves have banged in 11 goals in their current three-game road winning streak.
Given the form of both clubs, expect both keepers to be beaten this Saturday night.
Leg 4: Both teams to score @ 11/20
