The Citizens have won their last four home league matches by an aggregate score of 14-0. They haven’t kept five consecutive home clean sheets in the competition since September 2011 under Roberto Mancini.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last two league contests against Man City (W1 D1), having lost 15 of their 16 against them previously. They’re looking to avoid defeat in both league meetings with the Citizens for the first time since 2004/05.
