Newcastle have failed to beat City in their last 17 Premier League encounters, conceding two or more goals in their last 14 league games against Saturday's opponents.
Wijnaldum, however, is backing his side to get something from the game, based on their encouraging performance against Chelsea at the weekend.

"It (getting a point against Chelsea) was a really big step for us. We have a result now and it's a point against the champions of last year," he added.
