Manchester City vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Etihad Stadium
Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Manchester City vs Newcastle United
The hosts come into this game looking for a victory that will put the pressure on leaders Arsenal ahead of their fixture at home to Bournemouth later on Saturday. City are currently five points behind the Gunners, and have much work to do if they are to overturn the deficit and lift the title for the fifth time in six seasons. They look to be hitting their stride of late though, unbeaten in six in all competitions and 4-1 winners at Bournemouth in their last Premier League outing. The Citizens are also the best home team in the league, winning 10 of their 12 league matches on their own turf and picking up 31 points from a possible 36.
