With Liverpool held to a 1-1 draw by Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s late kick-off, Pep Guardiola‘s men knew victory over the Magpies would extend our lead at the Premier League summit to three points with as many games of the season remaining.
However, gaining that all-important win was far from a foregone conclusion against a side who came to the Etihad with four wins from their last five matches.
A must-watch encounter beckoned, as City aimed to hand our prospects of successive Premier League titles a huge boost.
