Newcastle v Man Utd

Newcastle are well positioned in the race for a Champions League finish. The top five sides in the Premier League this season will qualify for the competition, opening up the door for a whole host of sides to qualify for next term. There are only six points between Chelsea in 4th and Brighton in 9th, showing how tight this European race is.

Manchester United will be less concerned with domestic matters as they look to progress in the Europa League after drawing 2-2 with Lyon in the opening leg of their quarter-final. Performances from United have generally been more positive since the international break, even if results haven’t quite matched this progress.

⭐ Newcastle v Man Utd Best Bet

Newcastle haven’t been as dominant as they would have liked to have been at St James’ Park this season, but have still managed to win eight of their 14 assignments at home. They enter this game on the back of four straight wins across all competitions, the Carabao Cup success seems to have really motivated them to finish the campaign strongly. 

There is a lot more riding on this game for Newcastle than there is for Manchester United. The Red Devils are likely to rotate their side with the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie against Lyon (1-1 currently) next week. The Europa League is likely to be the main focus given that Manchester United need European qualification next season, not just for footballing reasons but also to help with their issues off the pitch and recruitment for next season.

Newcastle ran out 2-0 winners in the initial meeting between the sides at Old Trafford. They were pretty convincing in victory, with two first half goals coming from Alexander Isak and Joelinton being enough to wrap up the victory. United only had one shot on target in that game, which is an attacking inconsistency that Newcastle can take advantage of again here.

United have only won four of their 15 away games in the Premier League this season, and a trip to St James’ Park is arguably one of the toughest away assignments in the Premier League, especially when considering Newcastle’s recent form since the Carabao Cup final success. Newcastle can take advantage of United having one eye on their Europa League game and general poor performances on the road this season to come out on top here.

👕 Newcastle v Man United Predicted XI

🔍 Newcastle v Man United Players to Watch

⚫ Alexander Isak

Isak scored against Man U in the initial meeting between the sides at Old Trafford and has scored 20 goals across his 27 Premier League appearances this campaign, comfortably making him Newcastle’s top scorer in the top-flight. He scored against Brentford since returning from the international break and will fancy his chances of adding to his Premier League total, up against a vulnerable defence that is sure to have elements of fatigue scattered throughout it, having travelled to Lyon during the week.

🔴 Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has returned to a more advanced role in recent weeks with the reintegration of Casemiro, and this has made United look a little more balanced, especially in the final third. Fernandes has had 26 shots on target across his 30 Premier League appearances this season (0.91 per 90) and has comfortably been United’s best and most reliable player this campaign. He found the target twice in United’s most recent Premier League away game against Nottingham Forest and can repeat the feat here. He has a complete monopoly over free kicks and penalties for United, which can aid him in finding the target at St James’ Park.
