We have two big clubs meeting in the FA Cup Round of 16 as Newcastle host Man City at St James’ Park this Saturday.
Rotation is a possibility for Man City, but Newcastle won’t rest starters, which is why our Newcastle vs. Man City predictions focus on Harvey Barnes, who's having an excellent season.

Harvey Barnes 3+ shots
Harvey Barnes 1+ shots on target
Harvey Barnes 1+ fouls committed
Barnes has averaged 1.06 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, which leads this Newcastle squad. He’s had seven shots on target in his past five games, including one in a 30-minute sub appearance against Man City last month.
Although Barnes has only given up 0.81 fouls per 90 minutes played in the EPL this season, he committed one foul in just 30 minutes against this City team a few weeks ago and will be matched up on the same flank as the dangerous Antoine Semenyo and Matheus Nunes.
