Man City can add even more pressure on Arsenal in the title race if they win this. I believe they won't slip against Newcastle.

Pep Guardiola's men are more and more dominant, gaining consistency and momentum thanks to recent results.

Newcastle have been fluctuating all season long so you can't tell whether it's going to be heaven or hell as they travel to play Premier League trophy bidders Manchester City.

Here are my Man City vs. Newcastle predictions and free betting picks for February 21.

Premier League predictions for Man City vs Newcastle

My Man City vs Newcastle best bet: Man City to win (-213 at Sports Interaction)

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 21 Premier League home games against Newcastle.

They won each of the last 16 encounters in Manchester. Adding to that, Manchester City have won their last six Premier League home games against Newcastle without even conceding a goal.

City have won their previous four matches in all competitions, including a vital 2-1 triumph over Liverpool at Anfield.

Recently, City and Newcastle met in the League Cup semi-finals, with Man City winning 5-1 on aggregate over the two legs. They won 2-0 away and 3-1 at home.

Man City vs Newcastle same-game parlay (SGP)

Man City to win

Over 9.5 corners

Erling Haaland anytime goal

Antoine Semenyo 2+ shots on target

Tonali 2+ fouls

Newcastle have the highest average for corners in the Premier League - 6.85. City are not doing bad themselves at 5.46. I believe there will be context for set pieces in this match, so I'm not leaving corners out of my SGP.

Haaland scored in his last two Premier League matches, against Liverpool and Fulham. I'm counting on him to hit the net once more to get his season tally even higher. So far, he scored 22 times in 26 games in the Premier League campaign.

Antoine Semenyo sent at least a shot on target in each of his last four games in the Man City shirt. He scored in three of these games. Against Wolves and Tottenham, he troubled the keepers twice.

There will be a lot of pressure on Newcastle's midfield, given the quality City have. Sandro Tonali will try to do his best in order to contain City's midfield.

In the Champions League, the high-end European competition both Man City and Newcastle are also playing in, he averaged 1.5 fouls per match.

I used that as reference and took the 2+ fouls for the Italian to get my parlay return to a really nice +1,700.
