The Premier League 2nd leg match between Manchester City and Newcastle United is scheduled to take place on Saturday 19th August from 22:00 at the Etihad Stadium live on Digi Sport 2, Orange Sport 3 and Prima Sport 1.

The main favorite for the championship title “Manchester City” and one of the contenders “Newcastle United” will meet in the most interesting match of the 2nd stage of the EPL.

The game between the two teams is also a duel of billions coming from the Persian Gulf: Newcastle United is virtually the richest club in the Premier League after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which manages €368 billion and is patronized by Mohammed bin Salman. , the crown prince, took an 80% stake, while Manchester City is owned by City Football Group, a company in the United Arab Emirates controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, which is based on “just” €27 billion.

Manchester City achieved a historic treble in the previous season (Championship, FA Cup, Champions League) and is following a new trophy won for the first time, the European Super Cup (1-1 and 5-4 on penalties with Sevilla in Piraeus, Athens) .

The “City” missed the start of the season, 1-1 and 1-4 after a penalty against “Arsenal” at Wembley, in London, in the Super Cup of England (Community Shield), but they made their debut in the Premier League in the best possible way, 3 – 0 in the first leg at newly promoted Burnley.

Pep Guardiola lost Kevin De Bruyne to an injury against Sevilla this year and blamed, ironically, his side’s busy schedule as they prepare to play their fourth game in the last 14 days: “Thank you very much Premier League for that you made us play on saturday instead of sunday or monday. We are very grateful to you!”.

Newcastle United got the current Premier League season off to a good start with a crushing 5-1 home win over Aston Villa and look to be an even stronger side than last year when they finished 3rd.

Eddie Howe’s side have not lost at home since May’s 0-2 draw against second-placed Arsenal and key signings this summer, Milan’s Sandro Tonali, Leicester’s Harvey Barnes and Southampton’s Tino Livramento, appear to have integrated perfectly. .

In the previous season, Manchester City and Newcastle United played out a 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium, after the Kotofenes had taken a 3-1 lead, and in return at St. James Park, the “townsmen” won with a score of 2:0.
