Premier League leaders Manchester City travel to St James' Park to take on Newcastle United on Saturday lunchtime.

Pep Guardiola's side rescued a point in a pulsating 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend, preserving their unbeaten start in the top flight, and have since progressed to the EFL Cup fourth round after beating Watford 2-1 on Wednesday night.

As for Newcastle, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Fulham in the Premier League last time out and had their EFL Cup tie with AFC Wimbledon postponed after "extensive overnight flooding" created a sinkhole on the pitch at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 192

Newcastle wins: 73

Draws: 41

Man City wins: 78

Newcastle and Man City have faced each other a total of 192 times across all competitions, with the Citizens marginally leading the overall head-to-head record as they have won 78 games compared to the Magpies' 73, while 41 draws have been played out between the two clubs.

Over 130 years have passed since the two teams locked horns for the very first time back in October 1893 when Newcastle beat Man City, formerly known as Ardwick, 3-2 in the old Division Two.

The Magpies won the first three meetings before Man City celebrated success for the first time in February 1895, cruising to a 4-0 victory at Hyde Road.

Both teams have had their fair share of successes over one another over the years, but in the early years of the Premier League, which began in 1992-93, Newcastle were the dominant side in this fixture, collecting 25 points from a possible 45 available in their first 15 meetings (W7 D4).

However, since 2006, the tables have turned quite dramatically in Man City's favour, as they have won a remarkable 27 and drawn five of their last 33 Premier League encounters, scoring two or more goals in 24 of those victories.

Man City have in fact won more Premier League matches (31), more away games (12) and scored more goals (101) against Newcastle than they have versus any other opponent in the division. They have also scored in each of their last 31 league meetings, which is the longest scoring streak that one team has against another in the division's history to date.

Newcastle's only top-flight triumph during this run was a 2-1 home victory in January 2019 under Rafael Benitez. They have celebrated EFL Cup successes, too, winning a fourth-round tie 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium in October 2014 and a third-round tie 1-0 at St James' Park as recent as September 2023, courtesy of second-half strike from Alexander Isak.

Man City did the double over Newcastle in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season, though, winning 1-0 on home soil and 3-2 on the road - the latter success sealed with a stoppage-time winner from Oscar Bobb.

Citizens legend Sergio Aguero is the all-time leading scorer in this fixture with 15 goals in as many appearances, including five goals scored in a thumping 6-1 league victory in October 2015 and a hat-trick netted in a 3-1 home win in January 2018.
