WHICH UNBEATEN START WILL CONTINUE AS NEWCASTLE HOST MAN CITY? PREDICTION

Newcastle United are hoping to continue their unbeaten start to the English Premier League season as they host Manchester City.

Manchester City will look to quickly establish a lead at the top of the division with another triumph at the weekend.

With the unbeaten streak at stake for both teams, this makes for an exciting encounter.
