The Premier League continues its 2022/23 season schedule this weekend after many midweek games in the FA Cup and other European leagues.
Right now, Arsenal is as top of the Premier League as ever after their win over Everton in midweek and have a five-point lead over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. So there is no doubt that this will be a very nice battle for the top of the table from now until the end of the season.
Manchester United want to join this party, but they have no margin for error and must take advantage of having one less game in hand to get much closer to the top of the table.
What better way to start a day than with a spectacular match between two of the great teams of this season?
Well, this Saturday, February 4, 2023, we will have the match between Manchester City and Newcastle, a very nice fight at the top of the table that no one can miss.
When:
Saturday, March 4 at 07:30 AM ET at the Etihad Stadium

Why Bet on Manchester City?
The team coached by Pep Guardiola comes into this matchday with a lot of confidence after two good results last week.
First, they managed to draw 1-1 against Leipzig in Germany. Although this result is not expected for a team like Manchester City and its big difference in squads concerning the German club, the second leg at the Etihad seems to be wholly destined for a big and comfortable victory for Pep Guardiola’s team.
On the other hand, they crowned their good form with a great victory last Saturday, February 25, against Bournemouth with a score of 4-1.
Right now, Manchester City is in second place in the table, five points behind Arsenal at the top. In addition, they come into this match after a crushing victory over Bristol City in the FA Cup, with a score of 3-0.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
Newcastle, meanwhile, has the biggest test this weekend in recent days when they visit the Etihad Stadium. The team is not in the best form, having won one, drawn three, and lost one of its last five games. Because of this, the team has moved three points behind Tottenham in fourth place.
However, we cannot fail to mention that Newcastle has the best defense in the Premier League. In 23 games, they have only conceded 15 goals, eight goals less than Manchester City, who are second in these statistics.
On the other hand, it should be noted that Newcastle has two games less played than Tottenham and one less than Manchester United, which means the team can get into the Champions League places if they win these two matches.
The Magpies are coming from a defeat in the EFL Cup final against Manchester United, scoring 0-2.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Newcastle
The best match of this 26th Premier League matchday will not disappoint. There is no doubt about that. Both teams have had a great season and are fighting for Champions League places, and for the top of the table, so we are sure they will keep absolutely nothing to themselves in this match.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Manchester City at -226, while Newcastle starts at +580.
Newcastle needs to get back to winning ways as soon as possible if they don’t want to keep slipping away from the top. It won’t be an easy task against Manchester City at the Etihad, but in the Premier League, anything can happen.
However, our prediction for this match is that Citizens will win, so we are going with a 3-1 Manchester City victory.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Manchester City. For example, if you put $100 on Manchester City at -226, you’ll see a $44.25 win with a total payout of $144.25.
