Manchester United take on Newcastle in a Premier League top-five battle at Old Trafford on Sunday. Erik ten Hag's side will aim to make it four wins in as many games in all competitions after a Europa League win over Omonia on Thursday, while the Magpies have scored nine goals in their last two wins.
The Red Devils, currently fifth with 15 points, beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park last week. The fact that United suffered defeats such as the 4-0 loss at Brentford and the 6-3 beating against Manchester City in the derby game cannot be ignored, but there have been positive signs like the wins over Liverpool and Arsenal as well.
However, for a team who picked up 4-1 and 5-1 wins against Fulham and Brentford respectively in their last two games, Newcastle aren't a team to be taken lightly. Since taking the head coach job in November, Eddie Howe (W17 D10 L11) has been highly impressive.
