Newcastle United vs Manchester City Competition – FA Cup Stadium: St. James’ Park Date: 7th March 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Newcastle United host Manchester City at St. James’ Park on Saturday 7th March 2026 in a mouthwatering FA Cup fifth-round tie, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 GMT. This is a fixture brimming with Premier League quality on both sides, and a rematch of a meeting that took place less than a fortnight ago. The Magpies will be roared on by a full house on Tyneside, and after beating Manchester United at home most recently, the belief is there — but City arrive as the form side and will be difficult to overcome over 90 minutes.
Newcastle head into this tie with a mixed but ultimately encouraging recent record. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 home win over Manchester United on March 4th, which will have lifted spirits considerably going into this cup tie. In their previous match, they suffered a 2-3 defeat at home to Everton on February 28th — a result that stung at St. James’ Park. Earlier in this sequence, they claimed a 3-2 home win over FK Qarabag on February 24th in the Champions League. Before that, they were beaten 2-1 away at Manchester City on February 21st in the Premier League — the same opponents they face here. Their earlier result saw them win 6-1 away at FK Qarabag on February 18th, an emphatic European display that underlines their attacking potential on the road. Three wins and two defeats in the last five is a decent platform, and with St. James’ Park rocking on a Saturday night, Newcastle will believe they can spring a surprise.
Manchester City arrive at St. James’ Park in strong form. Their most recent result was a 2-2 draw at home to Nottingham Forest on March 4th — a result that will have frustrated the City faithful, though it extends an otherwise excellent recent run. In their previous outing, they won 1-0 away at Leeds United on February 28th, a typically professional away performance. Earlier, they beat Newcastle United 2-1 at home on February 21st, won 2-0 at home against Salford City in the previous round of this very FA Cup competition on February 14th, and hammered Fulham 3-0 at home on February 11th. Four wins and a draw from five is a formidable record, and City travel to the northeast with real momentum and the confidence of a side that knows how to win at St. James’ Park.
The recent head-to-head record strongly favours Manchester City, who have won four of the last five meetings between the sides with one Newcastle victory in that run. Most recently, City won 2-1 at home in the Premier League on February 21st, while Newcastle’s sole win in that sequence came at home, a 2-1 victory in November 2025. City will draw confidence from their dominance of this fixture — but Newcastle’s home form and the cup occasion make this anything but a foregone conclusion.
