Massive action takes place in the Premier League on Saturday evening, as Manchester United look to continue their excellent recent run of domestic form when they travel to St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle United.
Premier League Preview
All eyes will be on the North East on Saturday evening, as two of the sides in the race for a Champions League spot will lock horns at St. James’ Park. Despite making an incredibly slow start to the Premier League season, Man United sit just four points off the top four, and six points off the top of the standings. The Red Devils could continue their excellent form with a success on the road this weekend.
United come into the match in excellent recent form, as they have won five of their previous six in the league. That run of form has eased the pressure on Erik ten Hag, and it means that United have now picked up one more point than they had at the same stage of last term. Their most recent win was a comprehensive 3-0 success on the road against Everton last Sunday.
Newcastle are also a side heading in the right direction, as they are just one point behind United in the current standings. The Magpies have won two of their previous three, and have lost just once across their previous five in the competition.
Newcastle produced their best performance of the season last weekend, as they stunned Chelsea to claim a huge 4-1 success at home. Alexander Isak opened the scoring, before second-half goals from Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton, and Anthony Gordon wrapped up maximum points. A repeat performance will be expected this weekend.
Newcastle vs Manchester United Head to Head
Newcastle landed a 2-0 win in this exact fixture last term, and they are now unbeaten in their previous three league meetings with United. However, United’s defeat in this fixture last term ended their nine-match unbeaten sequence against the Magpies. However, the Red Devils have recorded just one away win in their last four visits to St. James’ Park.
Newcastle vs Manchester United Prediction
This is a fascinating clash between these two sides. United have answered their critics in recent weeks, and they could be good value to maintain their winning sequence on the road. Therefore, a chance will be taken on the Red Devils on Saturday night.
