Premier League: Newcastle United vs Manchester United prediction, head-to-head, team news, possible line-ups, and betting tips

After securing their first major trophy in 70 years, Newcastle seem to have had that spring to push them to Champions League qualification. They are on a four-match winning streak across all competitions and sit fifth, tied on points with fourth-placed Chelsea while having a game in hand.

For United, it has been a poor season, with Ruben Amorim realising that the problem could be deeper than initially thought. The Europa League dream remains after their 2-2 draw away at Lyon in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. 

However, mistakes such as those committed by Andre Onana in the game could yet see the Red Devils fall short. 

United held local rivals Manchester City to a goalless draw in their last Premier League match, but it was the second straight league game that they failed to win.

After the 2-0 win in the reverse fixture, the Magpies are looking to complete the double over United for the first time since the 1930-31 season.

Newcastle have dominated recent proceedings against the Red Devils, winning four of their last five meetings against them across all competitions, as many as they won in the previous 41.

Anthony Gordon is doubtful, as he has not trained since suffering a groin injury on international duty. However, Joe Willock is confirmed to miss the game due to concussion protocols.

For United, Toby Collyer picked up a knock and will likely be sidelined, while Matthijs de Ligt and Amad Diallo remain out for the foreseeable future.

However, Ayden Heaven is heading towards full fitness.

Newcastle United Predicted lineup (4-3-3)

Pope (GK); Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes

Manchester United Predicted lineup (3-4-3)

Onana (GK); Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu; Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee

Newcastle are gliding at the moment and appear to have too much for the stuttering Manchester United side. The hosts have energy, quality and invention in their game that we expect to swallow the Red Devils.
