What TV channel is Manchester City vs Newcastle on and how can I watch it?

Newcastle United continue their Premier League return this evening when they take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Magpies had been out of action for over three months after English football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic but have made an impressive return to action.

Steve Bruce's side are unbeaten since the Premier League restarted having backed up comprehensive wins over Sheffield United and Bournemouth with home draws against Aston Villa and West Ham.

The odds are against them extending their unbeaten run past this evening, though, as they take on Pep Guardiola's City side.

The two sides met last weekend in the FA Cup quarter-finals, with City running out comfortable winners, and they will look to tighten their grip on second place.

City have had a mixed set of results in the Premier League as home thrashings of Arsenal, Burnley and Liverpool have been supplemented by away defeats to Chelsea and Southampton.

All Premier League games are available to watch on television between now and the end of the season so despite fans not being allowed into stadiums, they can still follow all of the action from their sofas.

Matches will be spread between the Premier League's UK broadcast partners - Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and BBC - with 33 of the final 92 games available on free-to-air TV.

The clash between Manchester City and Newcastle is not one of those games, though, and will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1 (Sky channel 413, BT TV or Talk TV channels 408 or 430 and Virgin TV channel 527).

Coverage begins at 5:30pm with the action getting under way at 6pm.
