Man City next six fixtures compared to Arsenal after knocking Newcastle out FA Cup

Manchester City beat Newcastle United in the FA Cup and now have an even busier fixture list while they battle Arsenal for the Premier League title

Manchester City booked a place in the quarter-final of the FA Cup thanks to a victory against Newcastle United. City claimed a 3-1 win at St James’ Park in the fifth-round tie to secure their spot in the last eight.

Newcastle had taken the lead in the first half with a goal from Harvey Barnes, with City quickly responding with an equaliser from Savinho.

Omar Marmoush then put City in front soon after the half-time interval, and added his second of the game and third for Pep Guardiola’s side to put the visitors in control of the tie on Tyneside.

City have now added an FA Cup quarter-final tie to their busy schedule, which will take place next month, with the draw being held on Monday night.

Guardiola are currently battling with Arsenal for the Premier League title, with the Gunners having a seven-point lead, but City do have a game in hand.
