Manchester United and Newcastle United will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Red Devils and the Magpies will take place at Old Trafford and is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time on Sunday.
Manchester United
Manchester United started the season really badly, but Erik ten Hag’s side have recovered and are doing quite well at the moment. It is still not perfect, but the Red Devils are starting to get their act together and are very much in the race for the Premier League top four this season.
United are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 15 points from eight matches. The Red Devils are a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea and nine points behind leaders Arsenal. It is unlikely that United will challenge for the Premier League title this season, but they could end up in the UEFA Champions League places.
Ten Hag’s side got the better of Everton 2-1 away from home at Goodison Park in the Premier League this past weekend. It followed a 3-2 victory over Omonia Nicosia away from home in the UEFA Europa League.
Team News:
Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to start for Manchester United against Newcastle United. Anthony Martial could miss out due to injury. Brazil international midfielder Casemiro could start as well.
Newcastle United
Like Manchester United, Newcastle United did not start the season strongly, but they are coming into their own now and are starting to pick up points and get positive results. It is unlikely that the Magpies will challenge for the Premier League top four or even the top six this season, but they could end up in the top 10.
Eddie Howe’s side are sixth in the Premier League table at the moment with 14 points from nine matches. Newcastle are two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and 10 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Newcastle will head into the match against Manchester United on the back of a 5-1 victory over Brentford at St. James’ Park in the Premier League. It followed a 4-1 hammering of Fulham away from home at Craven Cottage in London in the league.
Team News:
Allan Saint-Maximin came on as a substitute against Brentford and could start against Manchester United. Brazil international midfielder Bruno Guimaraes will start, and so will English striker Callum Wilson.
