Arsenal’s midweek victory at home against Everton means that the gap at the top of the Premier League table is back to five points entering the weekend action.
Manchester City dropped points in the third match of the season in a 3-3 draw at Newcastle, but Pep Guardiola’s side is a solid home favorite for the reverse fixture at home as the matchweek begins on Saturday with a clash of two top five teams.
Newcastle have hit a rough patch of form themselves, culminating in a 2-0 cup final defeat at Wembley against Manchester United on Sunday. The Magpies will have Nick Pope back in goal after his suspension, but they have just one league win in their last five matches.
The attack has started to regress and isn’t putting up the gaudy numbers it posted in the first half of the season. Combine that with Manchester City’s likely more cautious tactical approach to prevent counters and this total is a bit inflated given the quality of the two defenses.
