Newcastle vs Manchester United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

The Magpies gear up to host Ruben Amorim’s side.

Matchweek 32 fixtures of the Premier League 2024-25 take us to the St. James Park Stadium as Newcastle and Manchester United lock horns in a thrilling clash.

Newcastle United are currently positioned 5th in the Premier League points table, but a win could see them break into the top four. They have won four of their last five matches and are coming off a commanding 3-0 victory over Leicester City.

Jacob Murphy’s brace and a goal from Harvey Barnes were enough to seal all three points for Newcastle in their most recent outing. They are in high spirits after winning the Carabao Cup and would seek to end the season on a promising note.

Manchester United will play their next Europa League first-leg fixture against Olympique Lyon. After that, they’ll have to take on Newcastle United. This season hasn’t been a smooth one for them in the English top division, as they currently sit in 13th place.

They’ll be looking to break into the top 10 with victories in their upcoming games. Manchester United will be keen to silence the Newcastle fans in the next match at St. James Park.

Players to watch :

Alexander Isak (Newcastle)

Alexander Isak, the 26-year-old Swedish striker from Solna, has played for clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad before joining Newcastle United. He has made 79 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 51 goals.

He has emerged as a clutch player for the Magpies. He scored against United in the fourth minute to hand an early lead to the away side at Old Trafford when these two sides last met. Isak’s name will be etched in golden letters in Newcastle’s history books after he played a crucial role in helping the Magpies win their first-ever domestic trophy in seven decades.

Casemiro (Manchester Utd)

Casemiro, the 33-year-old Brazilian midfielder from Sao Jose dos Campos, has plied his trade with clubs like Real Madrid and Porto before joining Manchester United. This season, he has made a total of 21 appearances for the Red Devils and also scored a solitary goal.

One of Casemiro’s fondest memories will always be that opening goal against Newcastle United in the Finals of the Carabao Cup 2023 that helped Erik Ten Haag’s side win the EFL Cup. His presence not only offers defensive resilience to United but his acceleration with the ball makes him a handy option to initiate attacks from the middle of the park.
