The match against Newcastle saw Manchester City dominate their opponents from start to finish. Pep Guardiola’s men dominated the flow of the game as they kept the ball under their control for most of the game playing a controlled possession style of game. Bernardo Silva was the only scorer in the contest, with the Portuguese star finding a brace with both his goals coming off deflections from Newcastle’s defenders.

The team’s game against Brighton has also been rescheduled as a part of the fixture congestion. City was scheduled to face the Seagulls tonight, but the game had to be scheduled with the hosts tied against Newcastle in the FA Cup. The two rescheduled games could provide the Cityzens with a slight advantage during the last stretch of their campaign, as the team will have ample time on their hands to plan heading into their games.
