Man City vs Newcastle United: Newcastle United stunned Manchester City by winning the Carabao Cup in the second half. Aleksander Isak’s goal advanced the finalists from last season to the fourth round, where they will face Manchester United. During the first 45 minutes at St James’ Park, the host team was almost entirely on the back foot. Pep Guardiola’s team dominated the first half, but the Magpies raised their game after the interval to advance to the fourth round.
Manchester City XI: Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon
Newcastle United XI: Stefan Ortega, Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Aké, Sergio Gómez, Matheus Nunes, Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden, Julián Álvarez, Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland.
Man City are the only team in the Premier League with a 100% win rate in the opening few matches. Their last win came by a 2-0 margin against Nottingham Forest. They got their 2-0 lead in the first 14 minutes into the game. However, early into the second half, Rodri received a red card that saw him walk out of the pitch. Cityzens played the test of the match with 10 men. However, they still managed to keep a clean sheet at the end of the match.
Newcastle United started their season with 3 defeats in their 4 opening matches of the Premier League. However, they seem to have found their footing as they registered a 1-0 win against Brentford and a goalless draw against AC Milan in their opening Champions League game. In the following match, they made a club record by winning 8-0 against Sheffield United. They made a Premier League record as 8 different players each scored a goal. Hence, they will be confident going into the match against last season’s treble winners.
