Since Pep Guardiola came to Manchester City as a coach, they have established their status as the best team in the Premier League. Even Pep Guardiola has carved a new history for the Premier League where so far only Manchester City has managed to win 4 consecutive titles, they are the only one.

In the past, Manchester City have not been a consistent team with their performances and they are not the big team that can be expected. This is the 23rd consecutive season for Manchester City to be in the Premier League since being promoted in the 2002-03 season. Manchester City needed 10 seasons since being promoted to win their first title, when Roberto Mancini was their manager. Manuel Pellegrini won it again in the 2013-14 season, but he failed in the following seasons until Pep Guardiola was appointed in the 2016-17 season.

There is a lot of history about this club that you can read, especially here: https://www.transfermarkt.com/manchester-city/platzierungen/verein/281

If Klopp had not won the title in the 2019-2020 season, then today Manchester City would be the team that has won 7 titles in 7 consecutive seasons. Fortunately Liverpool were able to stop Manchester City's dominance that season, but Manchester City re-established themselves as the best team.

Rodri and De Bruyne seem to be out for quite a while based on my reference sources, but City still have other players to replace them. They have Silva, Kovacic and Gundohan, or Foden who will be rotated. There are still other names for Pep to formulate his strategy against Newcastle in tomorrow's match. Moreover, even though they are playing away and some of their main players are absent, City are still far superior to the home team. It is clear that City's chances of getting points in this match are very big. But it's not football if the results can be predicted or known for sure, when the match is running in normal time anything can happen. Perhaps, Eddie Howe will formulate his tactics based on the City vs Arsenal match. Nothing is impossible, although theoretically City is always favored. We'll just have to see when this match is held, hopefully Newcastle will put up a fierce fight so that the match is worth enjoying when we watch it.

I don’t think anyone is underestimating any club, and with the current condition of Manchester City, I don’t think Guardiola will underestimate any club because he won’t want to lose points unnecessarily. I know Manchester City are currently facing injury problems, but even without players that are injured, then Manchester City will still be able to win Newcastle because there is a replacement for those players on injury, so if not that Manchester City are playing against strong teams, it’s not really going to have a serious impact on the club’s performance.

Looking back with what they have achieved, it is right that Manchester City is considered the best team in the Premier League. Looking back further, it cannot be justified because Manchester City at that time was still not considered the best team. I think you understand.

Until last week, yes, I would also say Manchester City is the best team among other teams, but if you look at this season it has been 5 weeks and there are still many matches to be played, I think it is still too early because Liverpool and Arsenal also have the opportunity to be at the top. Chelsea should not be ignored either.

There is no doubt that Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League right now; they won the Premier League title four times in a row which no team has ever done it in the Premier League, but in the last two seasons, Arsenal have been a tough opponents for Manchester City, because for the past two seasons, Arsenal were dragging the title with Manchester City until the final week of the competition, but lack of experience do fail them along the line and they lost the last two season's premier league title to Manchester City after several struggles from the beginning of the season.

Nevertheless, this is another fresh season for Arsenal to try again, and their performance so far shows that they can still go again this season because the Manchester City that has been their biggest obstacle cannot comfortably win Arsenal again, they played draw with Arsenal one man down in the second half this shows how good Arsenal is defensively, and been able to hold Manchester City draw shows that they can do it again this season.

We have seen Manchester City's dominance over the last four seasons. Manchester City players have played well in every season. City's performance was very consistent. And this season too we have seen that Manchester City is performing very well. The top spot in the table is currently occupied by Manchester City. City have won four in a row out of five matches. Manchester City share points with Arsenal. Like last season, Manchester City is a worthy contender for the Premier League title this season.

Manchester City will play against Newcastle today. The Newcastle team is not a weak team. Newcastle is a strong enough team. The team has lost only one match this season. Besides, I have seen Newcastle players perform well in every match. However, Manchester City is a very strong team. Hopefully, City will not make any mistakes in this match. and will be able to earn full points. If City fail to win, the team will be pushed back in the title race.

Being the best team is different from the most improved team so make your point clear next time. What is your definition of best? Manchester City won the league back to back for years and they are still at the top of the league  already this season again so what does that mean to you? Being able to retain the top spot means no one can challenge them so the consistency alone makes them the best in the league.

They all play same series of matches so why is your best team not winning the league?

All i can say is that they have not been extraordinary lately and there are few teams that show improvement than them but improvement without victory is nothing to me.

If you look at Man United's efforts in the match against Crystal Palace, there were a lot of chances and very hard shots, and especially done by Garnacho not only trying to keep providing good opportunities, it's just that Henderson and can block all the shots that lead to him, and here Henderson saved Crystal Palace, Man United did not not work hard in the match but they could not fight Henderson in good form, the execution that was done was not so good and here lies the problem in that match.

Manchester City have been able to win the premier league title for the fourth time in a row and this is what makes them to be the best team in premier league. This season Manchester City is still considered to be the best team until another team takes the title of the league  this season,  I know the League just started for the season and for Manchester City to be at the top of the league it proves Manchester City to be the best team.

 Other teams are ready to compete with Manchester City this season,  these teams are very good in performance no doubt but they need to get the title to prove Manchester City is not the best team.

And we are going to continue to be on that table because I don't see anyone worthy of winning us is it Arsenal or Liverpool or nobody and that is why I have for much confidence in them I have never seen any club so dedicated to football the Manchester city is because after we took Liverpool space in winning the premier league back to back no club has been able to retrieve the title from us and when they were all excited that arsenal is going to be the new defending champions so a lot can be said but can not be done that is how case with Manchester city and arsenal, and even when the league got to competitive we still won the title with ease so, for now, we are the dominate club that we are going to be holding the title for a very long time. city is strong and the kind of players that we have are what is keeping the club running the coach just makes everything different.

And have seen a lot of anticipation about the Manchester City and Newcastle game and I don't know why that are no Manchester City fans worried about our game when people see you succeeding they are always scared and that is why they are making all kinds of comments about us because Manchester has all the capacity and we are doing very great so there is a lot of improvement from other clubs and as for us we are already made.

Today Guardiola announced that Rodri is out for the rest of the season, his injury was much more serious, problems with his miniscus, this morning he had surgery. Guardiola is upset and says that they don’t have such a player now, but City need to learn to win without Rodri, I think I heard something similar last season about De Bruyne when he was injured. Gundogan is back in City, there is De Bruyne and Silva. Newcastle need to be beaten, they are not the most difficult team in the Premier League for City.

I will not underestimate the Newcastle team. The performance of this team is somewhat erratic though. But Manchester City are in very good form right now. City players are performing brilliantly in every match. Out of 5 matches, City dominated and won 4 matches. Despite not winning the match against Arsenal, we saw the dominance of Manchester City players throughout the match. There is no doubt that the City players played very well. However, as Arsenal played completely defensively, City could not win the match till the end.

Also City always perform well in their home matches. They will try their best to win against Newcastle. Unless Manchester City are too unlucky then I think they will be able to get full points from this match.

Erling Haaland leads the way in scoring goals in the Premier League this season, he has scored 10 goals in the 5 matches he has played, if averaged out he has managed to score 2 goals in each match.
Manchester City have scored 13 goals, meaning Haaland has contributed 70%+ of all goals scored by Manchester City in the first 5 matches. Clearly this is a very good record that he has managed to make, and he has a great opportunity to continue to add to his goal collection. In his first season he scored 35 goals, in his second season he scored 31 goals, well this season he has the opportunity to exceed what he scored in the previous 2 seasons.

I also have the same thought. I don't think it will be easy for Man City to play as a guest against Newcastle, moreover, they won't play with Rodri, while Kevin De Bruyne will most likely not play as a starter. So I think there must be something lacking in the creativity and possession that Man City has.

Newcastle will definitely put up fierce resistance. They are not as strong as Arsenal, but considering that they will be playing at home, there is a chance that they could cause a surprise.

Manchester city has always been a good team and Guardiola has always got a way around his player management such that except for rare cases, he's always gat substitute for his players and still make sure the team is in a very good shape and functional enough to be able to get him the kind of results he desires at almost every time and that why Manchester city will always appear like they aren't been moved anytime a key player is out they always look for a way around how to making sure they are able to still maintain their pase and get the needed results even with or without certain players so rodris absence though will be felt but will not mean Manchester city will not be able to get the best off that game. De Bruyne is a very vital player such that his absence even affects the number of goals Manchester city can score with him its one of the proven exceptions.

It is not bad for the Magpies to lose 1x and draw 1x this is still progress for Eddie Howe's team, but it is true that the reality against Manchester City is quite difficult to win this team has been tough for years and other teams are difficult to beat, therefore with a draw it is better for Newcastle.

Other teams may hope that Manchester City can lose but it will not be that easy of course Pep Guardiola will maintain their victory and continue to lead the table.
So far I don't really expect Newcastle to win even though anything in the match can happen, we only see how Manchester City's ability is so great when competing with any team.

Rodri's absence makes me not sure they can overcome Newcastle's resistance easily. Rodri has a very vital role in the squad every time Manchester City plays and I also heard that Kevin De Bruyne is also reported to be injured. So the only other options that Pep Guardiola will play are Kovacic and Gundogan
On this basis, maybe I can analyze that Manchester City will not easily get points at St. James' Park.

Newcastle have had good form so far, they have had 1 defeat and 1 draw in their last 5 matches in the Premier League. The team's performance looked good, but the previous defeat in the match against Fulham was certainly surprising. Newcastle will definitely try to recover to improve its performance, but the match against Manchester City will certainly be very difficult.

What I want to say is, Arsenal fans definitely hope Manchester City loses this match, and so do Liverpool fans. Manchester City's defeat could help both of them take top spot, even Aston Villa will hope for the same. But in my opinion, Manchester City are favorites to win the away game and they are ready to do well.

This is because we all saw Manchester perform in the first season but it was so weak and underperforming that they decide to change themselves and reflect that in their matches is and we all have seen his matches in the first season if he is strong then you are not crazy about him win matches and working hard with the team. And it makes you look crazy. If more shots are taken, it is detrimental because it takes more shots to score and if the goals are not scored, the effort is wasted on those shots.  If the same shots are hit low and with good effort and brains, they are worth a whole match.

It looks like Manchester City still has a chance to win despite playing away and indeed, I also admit that Newcastle is not a weak team. Because after all, from the record of their head to head results also that even though Newcastle lost, but Newcastle did not lose with a big score because what happened was only losing by a difference of one goal or maybe two goals. So yes, considering Manchester City who also have some key players injured, then maybe it will not make Manchester City to be able to make an impressive final result.

Thus, a draw or Manchester City won only with a thin score, I think it is still possible to happen. With such considerations, also then if there is a Newcastle 1 or 2 option it seems like it will still be a good option too. But if those options are not so attractive, then betting on the number of goals with the under option, I think will make me interested in betting too, because I think this match will not have many goals.
