Sitting 13^th on the log having amassed 39 points from 31 games, it is fair to say Newcastle have enjoyed a pretty decent campaign. Even though they have achieved nothing spectacular, distancing themselves from any relegation-related talk is a huge feat. That should count for something for the fans.
In addition to this, they are in the quarterfinals of the league cup, set to take on dethroned Premier League champions Manchester City. Perhaps, the draws were unkind to the Magpies, they will have to suck it up, get their heads down as they plot a potential top-drawer upset.

Given that the Premier League trophy has already been handed to Liverpool, Manchester City will now focus solely on the FA Cup as they look to clinch a piece a silverware this term. Steve Bruce’s men will have to turn in a performance of the highest quality to stand any chances against these beasts.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Team News

Few months ago, if we were to table eight teams likely to make it all the way to the FA Cup quarterfinals, nobody would have Newcastle United on their list. Well, club supporters might include them in the hope that their side manages to defy all odds.

This is exactly what Newcastle United have done so far – exceeding pre-tournament expectations. The media have been left at a loss for words with their exploits in the competition so far. Head coach Steve Bruce might be deserving of a pat on the back for the amazing work he has put in at the club this term.

Taking a trip to the Hawthorns to take on West Brom, Newcastle were deemed favorites, duly delivering the win. In a thrilling 2-3 win, a first-half brace from Almiron and strike from Lazaro were enough to send the Magpies through to the next stage of the competition.
Set to tackle Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, Pep Guardiola was more than happy to lineup a second-string Manchester City squad. Giving a chance to the club’s fringe players, they repaid the faith shown in them by the manager, securing a narrow 1-0 win.

Having held the Citizens to a goalless draw in the first-half, Sergio Aguero took it upon himself to breach the opposition’s defense to break the deadlock in the 53^rd minute. There were to be no more goals as Man City managed to scrape past the Owls into the quarterfinals.

For this fixture, Manchester City are clear favorites for the win. The former Premier League champions relinquished the league title to Liverpool after their defeat to Chelsea few days ago. With their place amongst the top-four all but secured, the Citizens will be determined to have a real go at cup success.

They have been the best English team over the past four years, lifting the league title three times on the bounce. Also, there is no denying the array of talent within their ranks. Glancing through their dressing room, you will find some of the best players in Europe on the team.

In sharp contrast, Newcastle United are a weak side. Having established themselves as bottom-half outfits in recent years, they have got nothing on Pep Guardiola’s side in this fixture.
