Both sides are fighting for a final six spot in the English first-tier

Manchester United were in Premier League action just yesterday. In that game, the Red Devils were playing host to Arsenal. The Gunners won that fixture 1-0 to put more pressure on Erik ten Hag’s team and their chances of finishing inside the top six.

Newcastle United are currently holding on to the sixth place as both Chelsea and United will want them to slip. The Magpies also lost crucial points in the last game after settling for a 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion which otherwise would have made their life easier. After this trip to Old Trafford, Eddie Howe’s side will finish this league season on the road where they face off against Brentford.

Kick-Off:

Wednesday, 15 May 2024 at 8:00 PM UK

Thursday, 16 May 2024 at 12:30 AM IST

Location: Old Trafford

Form

Man United (in all competitions): L-L-D-W-D

Newcastle (in all competitions): D-W-W-L-W

Players to Watch

Willy Kambwala (Man United)

Against Arsenal, we saw a comeback of one of the defenders of United. Willy Kambwala had replaced Jonny Evans to play the final 15 minutes. In this game, we expect him to provide good defensive solidarity alongside Evans from kick-off.

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle)

A major boost in the Newcastle squad as well. Kieran Trippier was subbed on in the added time against Brighton. At Old Trafford, Howe is more than likely to use his services from the get-go.

Match Facts

The visitors have scored 27 more goals in the division than their hosts
Newcastle have lost only one of their last eight league fixtures
United have won only two of their last 11 PL matches

Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford missed the Arsenal defeat and are still unavailable. Centre-back Willy Kambwala did play the last 15 minutes and is likely to replace makeshift defender Casemiro. Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and a few other defenders are sidelined. Amad Diallo could join Mason Mount on the injury list after some knee issue against the Gunners.

The visiting team will have some boost of legs in the squad with the comeback of Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier and Joelinton from injuries.
