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.
