BTTS
Both teams have found the back of the net in four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs. Five of Newcastle's last six outings in the Premier League have seen both teams score while three of Man City's last six fixtures have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, so you can see just why we're backing both teams to score on Friday night.
Over 2.5 Goals
Five of the last six league meetings between Newcastle and Man City have produced over 2.5 goals and we're backing Friday's game to be another action-packed 90-minutes. Four of Newcastle's and three of Man City's last six outings in all competitions have ended with at least three goals being scored, with the Magpie's last match against Leicester being a 6-goal thriller.
Callum Wilson to Score
Callum Wilson has scored 12-goals in the Premier League this season for Newcastle, including two in the host's last game away at Leicester. Those two goals against the Foxes were Wilson's first back in the black and white of Newcastle since returning from injury in April and the English forward will be hoping to add to his tally before the season comes to a close.

Man City to secure league title with a win at St James' Park
Newcastle haven't managed to win any of their last four matches against Man City but do head into Friday's clash on the back of a fantastic 4-2 win over Leicester. The Magpies could still realistically finish as high as 13th this season but would need to secure at least a point at home to Man City this week. Newcastle are safe from relegation so don't have the same motivation for the 3pts as their guests, but we're still expecting a competitive display from Steve Bruce's players. Lascelles, Fraser, Darlow, Anderson and Hayden all look set to miss the City game through injury, while Schar is suspended.
Stones returns from his three-match ban just in time to make the trip up north to face Newcastle, but there is a little bit of doubt around De Bruyne who could be rested. Man City know that it is only a matter of time before they claim another Premier League title but a win on Friday will put an end to the waiting. Guardiola's men have won their last three games against Newcastle and will be determined to wrap up the league title as quickly as possible, so expect a full-strength and fully focussed starting eleven at St James' Park.
