da aviator aposta： Having blown their attempts to go top of the league ladder for the first time since 1929, Manchester City’s response to their recent struggles when they visit St James Park, on Boxing Day, will be vital in determining if their talk of a title challenge is just bravado.
da stake casino： Alan Pardew returns to the scene of his excellent opening win as Newcastle boss, fresh from assuring fans over the futures of a number of the Toon’s key assets.
This fixture is given extra spice on several levels. City old boy, Joey Barton, will be out to make a point or two against his former employers, and Carlos Tevez will be desperate to win over City fans outraged by his bizarre proclamations about his future at the club.
For Newcastle, reliable stalwart Steve Harper, may make a return between the sticks, and whilst his presence would shore up an improving back line, the Newcastle puzzle is one I expect Roberto Mancini to be able to solve without too many problems.
Prediction: 0-2
