Manchester United vs Newcastle United Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites, between two sides with plenty of history in this fixture.
Manchester United
Ruben Amorim has not enjoyed the start to life he would have wanted at Old Trafford, and things got worse last time out as the Red Devils fell at the hands of Wolves. This festive period hasn’t been too kind to them, and they have some serious work to do if they are to end up finishing in the top half come the end of the campaign. They are a side packed with expensive talent though and they can never be written off, by any punters or Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Jonny Evans, Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount will miss out here for United.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Onana, Dalot, De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez, Mainoo, Diallo, Ugarte, Eriksen, Zirkzee & Hojlund.
Newcastle United
A resounding home win over Aston Villa has given Newcastle a huge boost and Eddie Howe has been overseeing improving performances at St James’s Park of late. Toon are finally developing some consistency following a sticky start to the season and they will be full of confidence on arrival here in Salford. This is always a tricky contest though and some of their big players will need to stand up and be counted.
Team news: Nick Pope, Callum Wilson, Jamal Lescelles & Sven Botman will all miss out here for Newcastle.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Dubravka, Trippier, Burn, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Joelinton, Guimares, Murphy, Isak & Gordon.
