Cunha has come into form at an important point of the season for Man United, with Ruben Amorim losing Amad and Mbuemo to AFCON, as well as recently losing Bruno Fernandes, who picked up an injury in United’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa and is expected to be out until the New Year. 

Cunha has scored in each of his last two matches for United, netting against Bournemouth and Villa. He’s had a notably high 14 shots across these two matches, which offers real promise when backing Cunha to score here, purely from a shot volume perspective. Six of these 14 attempts found the target, too. 

Cunha has taken 47 shots across his 14 Premier League appearances this season (4.10 per 90), showing that a high shot volume is a consistent part of his game - 18 of these attempts have found the target (1.57 per 90).

Newcastle have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last 10 matches in all competitions, so we can expect Eddie Howe’s side to be a bit nervous at the back here. Newcastle have conceded 2+ goals in five of their last 10 matches, so there should be opportunities for United to strike. Fernandes’ absence may also earn Cunha penalty duties.

Woltemade scored a brace against Chelsea last weekend, setting him up nicely to strike again in this clash. Those were his first goals in the Premier League since striking against Everton a few weeks ago, and he should be afforded opportunities here by a United backline that is far from secure. 

Senne Lammens has only managed to keep one clean sheet across his 11 Premier League appearances this term, which highlights the issues that United have been facing at the back. They’ve conceded 12 goals across their eight games at Old Trafford this season, failing to keep a clean sheet in each of their last three games in front of their home crowd. 

Woltemade has a unique profile, but that doesn't take away from his effectiveness in front of goal, with the big German netting seven goals across his 14 Premier League appearances so far this term - which is a good record for a young striker that is still adapting to the pace and intensity of the league. Woltemade has already scored against Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham this season, so he doesn’t hide in the big matches.
