Man Utd vs Newcastle preview
These two sides couldn’t have arrived at this game in differing form.
Yet another Manchester United defeat on Boxing Day, this time 2-0 at strugglers Wolves.
Matheus Cunha opened the scoring 10 minutes after Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the second half, with Hwang Hee-chan adding a second with the final kick of the game.
That’s now three defeats on the spin for Ruben Amorim and his side – and five from their last seven outings.
The bad news keeps coming with Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte – collecting his fifth booking of the season – both suspended for this one.
You wonder if a recall for Marcus Rashford is far away…
And it’s one of the league’s in-form sides that visits, with Newcastle winning four on the bounce in all competitions.
They’ve scored 11 goals and conceded NONE in their last three Premier League games, too.
The 3-0 win over Villa coming off the back of successive 4-0 wins and Eddie Howe’s side go into the contest in fifth place after a slow start.
Newcastle have also won three of the last four meetings between the teams….

Manchester United vs Newcastle predictions
Away win
You just can’t see past Newcastle for this one, surely?
The Toon are flying at present and now have a settled back four and stand-in goalkeeper all performing well.
With United missing their captain too, you struggle to see the creativity in the side from the middle of the park and Newcastle’s midfield is even more superior as a result.

Attacking options
Newcastle have options off the bench and there’s a good chance they could rotate one or two here.
But Jacob Murphy’s impact has been huge in December, starting all six of the games and registering four assists and three goals in the process.
Can have another big part to play, especially attacking that United left side.
