Newcastle United have never won a Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium (D2 L14), losing each of their last 12 visits to the ground. Their last away win at Manchester City was at Maine Road in September 2000, with Alan Shearer scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory.

Man City have lost just one of their last 28 league matches against Newcastle (W23 D4), a 2-1 defeat at St James’ Park in January 2019.

Only Liverpool (41) and Manchester City (33) have won more Premier League points in 2022 than Newcastle (32). However, the Magpies have lost three of their last four away league matches (W1).

Gabriel Jesus has been involved in 76 goals in 96 Premier League starts for Manchester City (53 goals, 23 assists) and has either scored or assisted in at least 58 per cent of his starts (56). Among players to start at least 10 matches, only Mohamed Salah (62%), Thierry Henry (61%) and Sergio Aguero (60%) have been involved in at least one goal in a higher percentage of their starts in the competition.
