Lewis Miley is expected to continue at right back here with Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento sidelined for this clash. He’s only played there for the last two games, contesting 12 duels against Fulham in the EFL Cup and committing two fouls from nine duels against Chelsea last time out.

Miley’s overall foul numbers aren’t that strong (0.41 per 90), but the majority of these performances have been in midfield, and he faces a different task here as a right back lining up against Mason Mount and Patrick Dorgu. Mount has won nine fouls across his nine starts in the Premier League this season (1.09 per 90), but the real danger to Miley is Patrick Dorgu.

Dorgu’s most standout trait is winning fouls, and I’d anticipate a lot of United’s attacks coming down his side with Amorim aware that Newcastle are missing their two main right-backs. Miley handled Garnacho pretty well last time out, but still had to make two fouls, with these instances occurring when Miley was caught slightly out of position, which is to be expected as he rarely plays as a right back.

Dorgu has won a ridiculous 28 fouls across his 16 Premier League appearances this season (3.14 per 90), which is a record that offers real promise when looking to back Miley to commit a foul in this clash.

There is excellent value with this selection when backing with bet365, other bookmakers appear to have taken Miley’s position change over recent games into account with their pricing, as he’s available as low as 1.36 with other comparable bookmakers.
