Newcastle to win

Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings with Man Utd and each of the clubs’ last two encounters at St. James’ Park.

Newcastle welcome Man Utd to St. James’ Park to contest a high-profile Premier League fixture on Sunday, 13 April. Read our Premier League predictions for the clash below.

Newcastle vs Man Utd prediction: Physical hosts can dominate

Key Stats

  • Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings with Man Utd and each of the clubs’ last two encounters at St. James’ Park.
  • Man Utd failed to score in four of their last five assignments with Newcastle.
  • Alexander Isak has notched 20 goals in 27 Premiere League appearances for Newcastle this term.
  • Man Utd have been picking up 2.26 yellow cards per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season.

Correct score prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Man Utd

Newcastle have out-muscled and out-played Man Utd on numerous occasions in recent seasons, winning four of their last five meetings between the clubs. The Magpies beat United 2-0 at Old Trafford in December and they can produce a repeat result on Sunday.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Newcastle are market favourites

  • HOME: 8/13 (1.62) – 61.9%
  • DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
  • AWAY: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Newcastle’s 3-0 win at Leicester last week was the Magpies’ fourth win in five league fixtures and Eddie Howe’s in-form outfit have a 61.9% chance of maintaining their purple patch at Man Utd’s expense.

Man Utd’s league form is patchy at best and they should be fatigued following their exploits at Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday evening. The Red Devils offer little value at 4/1 to win here. Read more of our free football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Andre Onana

Andre Onana’s limitations were exposed again on Thursday evening when the Man Utd keeper made two errors leading to goals for Lyon and the spotlight will be firmly on the under-fire Cameroonian stopper again on Sunday.

Onana feeling the pressure

Since the start of last season, no goalkeeper has made more errors leading to goals for Premier League clubs in all competitions than Onana (9). The nervy 31-year-old is likely to feel the squeeze at St. James’ Park again on Sunday.
