Preview: Manchester City vs. Newcastle - Team news and prediction

Manchester City still has the opportunity to repeat last year's treble, and the pursuit of this requires a victory over Newcastle in today's FA Cup match. City enters the match after a 1-1 draw against Liverpool recently, while Newcastle lost 3-2 to Chelsea in their last outing.

Newcastle has faced significant challenges this season, so an FA Cup title would certainly improve Eddie Howe's managerial situation when evaluations are made after the season. Manchester City has found their form and is in the title race alongside Liverpool and Arsenal, while still being in contention in the Champions League.
