… and at the very real risk of belabouring the point to the extreme annoyance of Newcastle fans … here’s a reminder of what happened when the two teams met here just 18 days ago in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals. We’ll stop this now.
That aforementioned 16-game winning run in this particular fixture isn’t the only statistic skewing hope in Manchester City’s favour. They’re unbeaten in 21 stagings of this match, and in English top-flight history, that’s a winning home run only bettered by Everton, who had the hex over Fulham at Goodison for a 22-match sequence between 1961 and 2018. That record could be equalled tonight.
Chelsea against Newcastle United: 37 games between 1933 and 1969
Tottenham Hotspur against Newcastle United: 35 games between 1922 and 1961
Everton against Blackburn Rovers: 34 games between 1925 and 1962
Manchester City against Newcastle United: 34 games between 2007 and 2025 (ongoing)
