"Manchester City will move two points behind Arsenal if they beat Newcastle United on Saturday, putting extra heat on the league leaders before their north London derby on Sunday. City's victories over Liverpool and Fulham have put them in a position to capitalise on Arsenal's slump, after successive draws against Brentford and Wolves left the Gunners with just two wins in their last seven league matches."
"Newcastle, meanwhile, are looking to revitalise their inconsistent Premier League campaign, which has left them in 10th place going into the weekend. The Magpies have also lost their last 12 games at City and will be desperate to end that run in Saturday's showdown. Newcastle come into the game on a high after thrashing Qarabag 6-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday and having beaten Spurs 2-1 in their last league game to end a four-game winless Premier League run."
"While Arsenal are five points clear of second-placed City, Pep Guardiola's team have a game in hand and will host the leaders in April. After allowing City to overhaul them in the 2023 and 2024 title races, the north Londoners, who have not won silverware since the 2020 FA Cup, face pointed questions about their ability to handle the mounting tension."
Manchester City can move two points behind Arsenal with a win at the Etihad on Saturday, taking advantage of a game in hand. City are unbeaten in seven matches across all competitions and have the joint-best home record in the league. Recent victories over Liverpool and Fulham have improved City’s momentum. Arsenal have managed only two wins in their last seven league matches after draws with Brentford and Wolves. Newcastle sit tenth and seek to revitalise an inconsistent Premier League campaign. The Magpies have lost their last 12 matches at City but arrive after a 6-1 Champions League win over Qarabag and a 2-1 league victory over Spurs.
