Newcastle and Manchester City meet for the fifth time this season tonight.

The sides clash in the fifth-round of the FA Cup at St James’ Park with Newcastle looking for revenge having been beaten in both legs of the EFL Cup semi-final.

Stats for Newcastle v Manchester City

• City could become just the third team to eliminate Newcastle from both the EFL Cup and FA Cup in the same season, after Wimbledon in 1987-88 and Arsenal in 2007-08
• However, the Magpies have progressed from nine of their last 10 FA Cup Fifth Round ties, with two of those triumphs coming against City in 1994-95 and 2001-02
• Guardiola’s men have won 18 of their last 20 matches in the FA Cup across the last four seasons, losing only in the finals in 2024 against Man Utd and 2025 against Crystal Palace
• Newcastle have already beaten two Premier League sides in Bournemouth and Aston Villa to reach this stage of the competition
• City, meanwhile, have benefited from relatively straight-forward ties against lower-league sides Exeter City and Salford City.
