Newcastle vs. Man City: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 199

Newcastle wins: 74

Draws: 42

Man City wins: 83

Newcastle United and Manchester City have locked horns 198 times over the decades, and it is the Citizens that lead the overall head-to-head record with 83 wins to the Magpies' 74, while a further 42 clashes have ended honours even.

However, the Tyneside club won the first three meetings between the sides, including the very first back in October 1893 when they downed Man City - formerly known as Ardwick - 3-2 in the old Division Two. It was not until February 1895 that the Mancunians enjoyed their first success, cruising to a 4-0 victory at Hyde Road.

Both teams have had their fair share of successes over one another over the years, but in the early days of the Premier League, Newcastle were the dominant force in this fixture, collecting 25 points from a possible 45 available in their first 15 meetings (W7 D4).

However, since 2006, the tables have turned quite dramatically in Man City's favour, as they have won a remarkable 29 times and have drawn six of their last 37 Premier League encounters, scoring two or more goals in 26 of those victories.

Man City have in fact won more Premier League matches (33), more away games (12) and scored more goals (108) against Newcastle than they have versus any other opponent in the division. They have also scored in each of their last 35 league meetings, which is the longest scoring streak that one team has against another in the division's history to date.

Newcastle's only two top-flight successes in the last 20 years were a 2-1 home victory in January 2019 under Rafael Benitez, and a 2-1 win in November 2025. They did manage a couple of EFL Cup triumphs, though, winning a fourth-round tie 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium in October 2014 and a third-round tie 1-0 at St James' Park as recently as September 2023, courtesy of second-half strike from Alexander Isak.

Man City did the double over Newcastle in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season, though, winning 1-0 on home soil and 3-2 on the road - the latter success sealed with a stoppage-time winner from Oscar Bobb, while the Citizens eased to a 4-0 home victory over the Magpies in February 2025, courtesy of a first-half hat-trick from Omar Marmoush.

In 2025-26, Man City met Newcastle a staggering five times across all competitions, including four contests in early 2026, and they came out on top on four occasions. After prevailing home and away in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, Pep Guardiola's side downed the Magpies 2-1 in February's league clash before a 3-1 comeback in the fifth round of the FA Cup in March.

Citizens legend Sergio Aguero is the all-time leading scorer in this fixture with 15 goals in as many appearances, including five goals scored in a thumping 6-1 league victory in October 2015 and a hat-trick netted in a 3-1 home win in January 2018.
