Newcastle vs Man Utd – Top Two Tips
Check out our Premier League predictions for Sunday's big game at the top of the table between Newcastle and Man Utd.

Contents
Man Utd Double Chance
Our first Newcastle vs Man Utd prediction is for the away side to either win or draw on Sunday. Man Utd have an excellent record against Newcastle especially in recent seasons, picking up five wins and two draws from the pair's last seven encounters in league and cup. The hosts have suffered three defeats and have drawn one of their last six matches in all competitions, while Man Utd have form in their favour with four wins and a draw from their last six fixtures.
Both Teams to Score
Our second Newcastle vs Man Utd prediction is for both teams to score at St James Park. There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as five of the last seven encounters between these two clubs have ended that very same way. Three of both clubs' last six matches in league and cup have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, so you can see why we're not expecting either goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet on Sunday.

Newcastle vs Man Utd Lineups
Newcastle
Newcastle had to battle hard to secure all 3pts away at relegation-battlers Nottingham Forest last time out. Dennis fired the home side in front in the 26th minute but Isak equalised in first-half stoppage-time. The game proved equally as tight in the second forty-five and appeared to be heading for a draw until deep into stoppage-time when the Magpies were awarded a penalty which Isak coolly converted to win the game 2-1. Almiron will be as big miss for Newcastle this weekend but Joelinton does make his return following a suspension. Gordon, Saint-Maximin, Pope, Botman and Fraser are all injury concerns.
Predicted Lineup – Pope (GK), Trippier, Schär, Burn, Botman, Joelinton, Willock, Guimarães, Longstaff, Saint-Maximin & Isak
Man Utd
Man Utd simply weren't good enough at home against Southampton in their last league game. The match ended goalless and Man Utd played most of the game without Casemiro who was shown a straight red card in the 34th minute. A decent point for Southampton who are battling for their survival but a missed opportunity for ten Hag's men. Van de Beek and Garnacho have been ruled out this weekend through injury, while Casemiro is suspended. There are also concerns over Rashford, Varane, Martial, Sabitzer and Eriksen all of whom could face late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup – de Gea (GK), Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Martínez, McTominay, Fernandes, Weghorst, Rashford, Sancho & Antony
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Marcus Rashford
If Man Utd are going to win this game or pick up a point then you would expect Marcus Rashford to play a big part in the result, assuming he returns from injury in time to play.
The England international has been in fantastic form this season, especially since returning from the World Cup. Rashford has netted 14-goals in the Premier League alone this season as well as a further 13-goals in cup competitions, so if anyone is going to score against Newcastle this weekend, you'd put your money on Rashford.
