To an extent, the form book goes out of the window for games like this. Manchester City are (as ever) long odds-on to see off Newcastle on Sunday but the outcome of this fixture largely depends on how Pep Guardiola's side respond to the devastation of their midweek Champions League exit.
The reality is that City simply cannot afford to dwell on those staggering events in the Bernabeu because in all likelihood they will have been replaced by Liverpool at the summit of the Premier League by the time they take to the Etihad pitch.
If Liverpool were to drop points against Spurs on Saturday evening then it would really take the pressure off City but that's an unlikely scenario given the way the Reds are playing, so City need to refocus on the job in hand if they are to hold on to their Premier League crown.
It's a stretch to think that City might lose this but Newcastle pose a goal threat, for all that they weren't able to make much an impression in last weekend's defeat to Liverpool.
That 1-0 reversal ended a run of four consecutive wins for Eddie Howe's much-improved side and although there is no jeopardy in terms of needing points, the Newcastle players are undoubtedly playing for their futures at the club given the vast resources of the club's owners.
The Magpies have found the net in away visits to Spurs, Manchester United and Liverpool this season and City have only managed one clean sheet at home in their last five Premier League games so it might be worth getting the visitors onside to score.
If City go about their business in the way we know they can, then this is a mismatch but Newcastle are much more dangerous
