Tactical Spotlight on Eddie Howe
St James' Park side could potentially be in the relegation zone if they suffer defeat against the champions and outcomes in other games are unfavorable.
The omens are unfavorable for the Newcastle manager, who has never won Pep Guardiola in eighteen prior English football matches.
Howe's history against the City manager stands at two stalemates and sixteen defeats from their historical matchups.
"We've developed and certainly I've seen a massive improvement from us," said Turf Moor boss Parker. "They're just little tiny bits at this present moment in time."
The comeback of Premier League fixtures comes after a dramatic international break that saw unforgettable highlights including Scotland's thrilling qualification for the global tournament.
