Manchester City looks to take its frustrations out on visiting Newcastle United on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium (Watch live, 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and online via NBCSports.com).
City lost its first match of the Premier League season last weekend when Liverpool held on for a 4-3 win at Anfield.
Now Pep Guardiola’s men meet a Newcastle United who flustered City at St. James’ Park last month in a 1-0 victory, and Rafa Benitez will need to find some new tricks to sort out the Premier League leaders.
City may see its table lead shrink to nine points, as neighbors Manchester United lead at Burnley on Saturday.
