Newcastle vs. Man City live stream is a chance for Pep Guardiola's team to close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

Newcastle is one of the most out of form teams in the EPL right now. Only Brentford have done worse in their last six games, while the Magpies have only won one of their five defeats in that time. At least the win over local nemesis Sunderland in the FA Cup has given them renewed optimism. Still, the visit of Man City is ill-timed for manager Eddie Howe, who needs a win to keep his side from dropping further down the table.

Talk of Man City's downfall was a bit premature; after a rare gap of four league games without a win in early December, the world-class team is once again heading in the right direction. Man City is now four games unbeaten and key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Harrant are returning after injury layoffs. Neither player is fit enough to start this match, but De Bruyne is on the bench and likely to play.

The starting lineup is as follows:

Newcastle Dubravka, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Byrne, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Miley, Almiron, Issac, Gordon

Man City Ederson, Walker, Diaz, Ake, Gbardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernard, Foden, Doc, Alvarez

Man City have a surprisingly dominant record against Newcastle: since 2005, City have lost only once to Newcastle in the Premier League, and even the draws have been fairly few. Even the draws have been fairly few and far between. It is hard to imagine this game going any other way than Man City winning comfortably and an already battered and bruised Newcastle losing again.

Of course, anything can happen in soccer, and last season's matchup produced an excellent 3-3 draw. Plus, make sure you don't miss any of the EPL action by checking out the full How To Watch Premier League Live Stream hub.
