Pre-match review
Newcastle enter this weekend’s match in high spirits after a four-game winning streak in all competitions. From the thrilling victory over West Ham, the comeback against Liverpool to win the League Cup after a 70-year wait, to the victories over Brentford and Leicester – all show the great character and ambition of coach Eddie Howe and his team.
Newcastle are currently in 5th place, 1 point ahead of Man City and have the right to decide in the race for the top 4. Notably, the Premier League has recently been given an additional Champions League spot (5 spots) - and Newcastle's current position is completely qualified to participate.
Meanwhile, MU's only hope of participating in the European Cup next season is to win the Europa League. Coach Ruben Amorim and his team just had a regrettable 2-2 draw against Lyon, in which goalkeeper Onana made a mistake that caused the Red Devils to lose the victory in extra time.
In the Premier League, MU is struggling in 13th place, with an unstable performance without a win in the last 3 matches, the risk of ending the season with the worst ranking in Premier League history is present.
Form, head-to-head history
Newcastle have a superior recent head-to-head record, winning four of their last five meetings with United. This year, Newcastle are aiming for a special achievement: completing a double over the Red Devils in a single season, for the first time since 1931. In the first leg at Old Trafford last December, Howe's side beat United 2-0.
Meanwhile, MU has only won 2 of its last 6 matches. The Red Devils have never won two consecutive matches in this year's tournament - a number that speaks to an incredibly unstable situation.
Force situation
Newcastle have injuries to Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Joe Willock. Anthony Gordon is doubtful, while Alexander Isak is likely to be fit to start.
MU will be without Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Amad Diallo, Ayden Heaven, Toby Collyer and Matthijs de Ligt. Goalkeeper Onana is likely to be replaced by Altay Bayindir.
