Newcastle United will face Manchester City, Brighton and Hove Albion and Stoke City in the Premier League during the festive period.
Newcastle United v Manchester City (December 27, 2017)
Newcastle United have not been playing well this season and are in serious danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Manchester City are running away with the Premier League title, and it is hard to see Pep Guardiola’s side drop points at St. James’ Park against a squad full of Championship-level players.
Prediction: Newcastle United 0-4 Manchester City
Newcastle United v Brighton and Hove Albion (December 30, 2017)
Playing at home will give Newcastle an advantage against Brighton and Hove Albion, and the Magpies need to make full use of that.
With the Seagulls also struggling for survival in the Premier League, this match is going to be very cagey. Newcastle, though, should just be able to pick up all three points from the match.
Prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Brighton and Hove Albion
Stoke City v Newcastle United (January 1, 2018)
Stoke City are among the sides who are fighting relegation, and the Potters are going to make it very tough for the Magpies.
Even picking up a point at the bet365 Stadium is not going, and Rafael Benitez’s side will probably return from Stoke empty-handed.
Prediction: Stoke City 1-0 Newcastle United
