Manchester City<\/a> are chasing Arsenal at the top, but with five defeats already, there\u2019s no room for error. Newcastle<\/a> turn up at the Etihad as mid-table spoilers, but the numbers say they\u2019re shipping too many goals to be trusted on the road. This Premier League<\/a> clash takes place this Saturday at 8pm at the Etihad Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Teams to Score: NO<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/8 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(42.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nCity keep clean sheets in 42% of games and Newcastle have blanked in a third of their away matches. Newcastle\u2019s xG is fine but they\u2019re wasteful (44 big chances missed). The 11\/8 is fair \u2014 the true chance is closer to 50%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cherki to Assist (Anytime)<\/strong><\/td>\n33\/20 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(37.77%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSeven assists in 22 games (0.32 per game), City average over 2 goals a match, and Newcastle concede 1.42 a game. With Haaland up top, Cherki\u2019s creative numbers make this a value shout above 40% implied.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
