Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Simon Stone

The Manchester City fans at the top of the huge stand to my left are enjoying themselves.
They have just taunted the Newcastle supporters, who have gone a bit quiet.
The home side have been industrious. But it is the visitors who are controlling the tempo and are carrying the greater goal threat.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Terrific work by Jacob Murphy who charges down the left and makes his way into the penalty area, but he's run off the ball. Matteo Kovacic goes to clear and brief Newcastle shouts for handball are quickly dismissed, before City begin another attack.

It's a proper game and the referee is busy. It is tetchy and you cannot touch some of the City players!

Pep Guardiola is shouting instructions from the touchline as Manchester City chase a second before the interval.
The ball is passed out to Manuel Akanji on the edge of the Newcastle box and the defender's side-footed attempt is diverted out for a corner.

Erling Haaland looks to be in but can't get the ball out from under him and Newcastle are let off again.
Manchester City sense blood here with Newcastle shaking.

Newcastle have played well in this first half but they have to be careful here. The hosts have City penned in but they're a bit careless in defence, although Ilkay Gundogan fails to punish them as City threaten to break.
Nick Pope is off his line after a casual pass out and Gundogan goes for a sensational clipped finish - but doesn't execute.

I think Pep should have a go at Grealish more often because since that he has been brilliant.
Gvardiol chops in well off his left onto his right and finds the bottom corner.
That is probably the first time Grealish and Gvardiol have got the better of Trippier and Murphy on this side.

I was saying a few minutes ago that Erling Haaland wasn't looking too happy and he appears to have a cut where he has been caught on the back of his Achilles by Dan Burn. One to keep an eye on.
Josko Gvardiol
Manchester City haven't been great, but still the champions lead.
It's a composed finish by Josko Gvardiol to slot into the bottom corner after Jack Grealish got the better of Kieran Tripper on City's left.
It's only City's second shot on target but Pep Guardiola's side find a way, as they usually do.

Erling Haaland is shown with his hands on his knees and not looking too content. Opportunities have been hard to come by so far, but we know he doesn't need many to do critical damage...
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Great pressing from Anthony Gordon, who regains possession for his team after Ederson's pass out, but Newcastle skipper Bruno Guimaraes goes sliding late into a challenge on Ilkay Gundogan to relieve the pressure on the visitors.

Not happening for Ilkay Gundogan and Manchester City in front of goal so far, the German again missing the target.

This right-hand side for Newcastle is very dangerous. Jacob Murphy has got into a few dangerous positions and so has Kieran Trippier.
There just isn't that much communication from Gvardiol and Grealish.

You can't fault Pep's coaching, but Jack Grealish is a much poorer player now. £100m and he hasn't scored in almost a year.

Newcastle 0-0 Man City
Better from Manchester City but Ilkay Gundogan is surprised to see Newcastle awarded a goal-kick rather than another corner opportunity for his side.
Signs that City are beginning to grow into this after half an hour, however.
Newcastle 0-0 Man City
That's a decent opportunity for Manchester City, but great defending from Kieran Trippier to prevent Erling Haaland sneaking in at the back post to meet Bernardo Silva's pass.
Corner to City.

A few words exchanged then between Fabian Schar and Jack Grealish.
The Manchester City man was jumping for the ball, Schar looked at the ball and the man, and nudged into Grealish, who responded by not getting his arm out of the way of his opponents' head as he landed.
Schar went down, then shouted at Grealish when he got up. Grealish responded. I think swear words were involved.
Referee Jarred Gillett rightly opted not to intervene.

Newcastle are giving City more to think about than most teams have over the last few weeks.

Ilkay Gundogan makes a mess of a first-time shot after Rico Lewis did well to bring down the free-kick and set up the opportunity. It's into the ground and well-wide from Gundogan.

If the Euros, Champions League, Premier League winner and potentially a Ballon D’Or winner Rodri is out, Arsenal won’t have a better chance at the Premier League this season. No. More. Silly. Draws.

Wolves have lost more Premier League games against Liverpool than they have vs any other opponent (16). They’ve lost 14 of their last 15 against the Reds in the league, with the exception being a 3-0 home win in February 2023.
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in 65% of their Premier League games against Wolves (13/20), the second-highest rate of any side to have faced another 20+ times in the competition, after Chelsea against Middlesbrough (67% - 20/30).
Wolves remain without a league win so far this season (D1 L4) – only in 2003-04 (first seven) and 2019-20 (first six) have they gone longer without victory from the start of a Premier League campaign.
Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory. The Reds had conceded in each of their previous 10 games before this run (16 goals conceded in total).
No current Premier League side is on a longer run without a clean sheet than Wolves, who have conceded in each of their last 17 top-flight matches (same as Southampton). It’s Wolves’ longest run without a shutout in the competition since a run of 30 in 2011-12.
Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games despite having led at half-time in each (1-2 v Newcastle, 1-3 v Aston Villa). No team in Premier League history has lost three consecutive matches having been ahead at the break each time.
Liverpool have conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League side so far this season (1), while no team has shipped more than Wolves (14). Indeed, Wolves’ 14 goals conceded is their most after five games of any league season since 1985-86 (14 in third tier), and most in the top-flight since 1970-71 (14).
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist against Bournemouth last time out was his 59th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of Steve McManaman as the outright third most for Liverpool in the competition. It also moved him level with teammate Andrew Robertson for most assists by a defender in the competition’s history.
Since the start of last season, Matheus Cunha has been involved in more Premier League goals for Wolves than any other player (21 – 14 goals, 7 assists). Eight of his last 13 goals for the club have either put them ahead (2) or drawn them level (6) in the match.
Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League appearances, scoring five and assisting one. He’s scored a brace in two of his last three for the Reds, having netted multiple goals in just one of his first 69 Premier League games.
