John Anderson, a former Newcastle defender, said the FA Cup fifth‑round tie against Manchester City at the Etihad will be a chance to get some revenge after the Magpies lost to the side in the Carabao Cup semi‑final. He noted that Newcastle have faced City three times this season and this will be their fifth domestic‑cup meeting in six years.
The match is scheduled for Saturday at 20:00 GMT. Newcastle hope to turn the tables on Pep Guardiola’s side after defeats in both legs of the League Cup semi‑final.
