Manchester City host Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend and the defending champions will be eyeing up a big win.
Newcastle are going through a slump right now and they have failed to win a single game this season.
Meanwhile, City were held to a draw at Wolves last time out and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways here.
