Man United v Newcastle
📅
Kick Off: Monday 30th December at 20:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Newcastle were able to capitalise on a first-half red card for Jhon Duran last time out, as they beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home to make it three straight wins. Such an uptick in form has seen the Magpies surge into the European spots. Meanwhile, Man United were dealt their eighth league defeat at Molineux on Boxing Day, leaving them in 14th.
⭐ Man United v Newcastle Best Bet
Jacob Murphy has landed this selection in each of his last six straight matches in all competitions, averaging 3.0 shots per game in that run.
That is despite failing to finish the full 90 in any of those. He is usually replaced by Harvey Barnes, who is averaging 3.23 shots per 90 in all competitions this season, which is important due to the SuperSub rule offered by PaddyPower.
🟢 Man United v Newcastle #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Newcastle have been in exceptional form of late, winning their last four games in all competitions while scoring 14 goals in the process. Alexander Isak has been a key contributor to those results, scoring in each of those games, including a hat-trick against Ipswich.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim will be desperately hoping for results to turn. After a three-game unbeaten start as Man United boss, his side have won just two of their last seven matches, losing five of those. Worryingly, the Red Devils have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those matches – Eddie Howe will have his troops primed to capitalise on such defensive weaknesses.
👕 Man United v Newcastle Predicted XI
🔍 Man United v Newcastle Players to Watch
⚫ Bruno Guimaraes
Bruno Guimaraes has drawn the most infringements of any Premier League player this season and has landed this selection in eight out of nine away matches. His only miss came against Brentford, in which Guimaraes was fouled on two occasions.
🔴 Noussair Mazraoui
Noussair Mazraoui will be up against Anthony Gordon in this game, which is expected to be a real battle. Mazraoui is averaging 1.47 fouls per 90 this season in the league, registering a foul in each of the last six games.
🔴 Amad Diallo
Amad Diallo has managed a shot on target in four of his last five games since shifting into a more advanced role – he only failed recently against Wolves in a game affected by Bruno Fernandes getting sent off.

Wolves were able to fully capitalise on Bruno Fernandes receiving his marching orders midweek, as Matheus Cunha scored directly from a corner before Hwang Hee-Chan secured the result late on. Ruben Amorim will now have to contend without his captain on the weekend.
While Man United have picked up zero points from their last two, failing to score, Newcastle have done the complete opposite – beating Ipswich and Aston Villa by an aggregate score of 7-0.
