The betting suggests there's no point playing this game, Newcastle - the home team - are 10/1, with City @ 2/9.
But......City have just sealed the title, so are probably on the beach already, & Newcastle have their tails up after a great result a few days ago. And if City avoid defeat, that will be a record for most away games without losing. See where I'm going with this? .

Opta stats
Newcastle United have won one of their last 26 Premier League matches against Manchester City (D4 L21), winning 2-1 in January 2019 despite going behind in the opening minute.
Manchester City have won one of their last four away Premier League games against Newcastle (D2 L1), going ahead in all three games they failed to win.
Newcastle have managed just 41 shots in their seven Premier League matches against Pep Guardiola's Man City (W1 D1 L5), averaging just 23 per cent possession across those games. The Magpies last managed 10+ shots in a league game against City back in August 2014 (12).
Manchester City have conceded the first goal in just one of their last 22 Premier League matches against Newcastle, doing so in October 2015 - they came back to win 6-1 at the Etihad. They haven't done so in any of their last 12 visits to St James' Park, since a 1-0 defeat in September 2005.
Manchester City have won their last 11 away Premier League matches and a win in this match would see them break the all-time record in the top four tiers of English league football, currently held by Chelsea in 2008 and Manchester City themselves in 2017.
Manchester City have kept 16 clean sheets away from home in all competitions this season and are one away from equalling the all-time record by a top-flight team in a season, after Liverpool in 1975-76, Chelsea in 2003-04 and Man Utd in 2008-09, who all kept 17 on the road.
Newcastle have won one of their last 20 Premier League matches against teams starting the day top of the table (D5 L14), a 2-1 win over Chelsea in December 2014.
In all competitions, Man City are unbeaten in 22 away matches (W20 D2), the longest ever run by an English top-flight team. Should they avoid defeat here, they will break the record away unbeaten run by a team in England's top four tiers, with Notts County also going 22 without defeat on the road between February and December 2012 as a League One side.
Newcastle striker Callum Wilson has been involved in 17 Premier League goals in 26 appearances for the Magpies this season (12 goals, five assists), the most by an Englishman in their first top-flight season for the club since Alan Shearer scored 25 goals and assisted seven more in 1996-97.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has scored 15 goals in 14 Premier League appearances against Newcastle, averaging a goal every 61 minutes. Only three players have scored 16+ goals against an opponent in the competition - Alan Shearer against Leeds United (20), and Les Ferdinand & Alan Shearer against Everton (both 16).
