"Impressive": Michael Owen states his prediction for Manchester City v Newcastle

Michael Owen has backed Manchester City to secure a victory over Newcastle United at the weekend. Citizens are currently sitting in 8th place in the Premier League table and will be hoping to gain three points from the upcoming clash. And Owen believes Pep Guardiola's side will celebrate a 2 - 0 win over the rivals on Boxing Day. “Things are starting to look on the up for Manchester City,” pundit said. “Unbeaten in five, they have been solid of late, especially at the Etihad where they are undefeated in 16 of their last 17 matches. “What’s most impressive is their defensive record. City have only conceded two goals in their last nine matches. “I can see that being the case again here. Newcastle’s record against the top sides leaves a lot to be desired, so I’ll be going for a comfortable home win.”
