History of the Newcastle United v Manchester City fixture

Man. City face a trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 50 and win only 12 of the 78 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2007, with Man. City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Magpies in a Premiership match.
