Manchester United responded to a thrashing by Manchester City by winning three games in a row in all competitions. Can Newcastle United halt that run?
— There was a major blow on Saturday when it emerged that Allan Saint-Maximin has suffered a setback after returning to action against Brentford and will also miss the game in Manchester. Cristiano Ronaldo starts in place of Anthony Martial, while Marcus Rashford drops to the bench and Christian Eriksen is out of the squad altogether. 100 mins to KO: This match last season saw the goalscoring homecoming of Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted twice in a 4-1 win for the Red Devils. Newcastle start with Joe Willock on the bench, as he has reportedly been unwell in the past few days. Still, having marked his substitute appearance against Everton with his 700th club goal, you wouldn't bet against Ronaldo making an impact against Newcastle — a team for which, according to some reports, he could become a transfer target... That incident came in between Diogo Dalot twice giving the ball away — it's not been a great start for the Man United right-back. Sancho drives into the box, Fernandes nudges the loose ball back to the edge of the box, but Fred slices his first-time shot wide. 15 mins: It's been a decent spell for Newcastle, but the home side do look dangerous when they break through that high press. 36 mins: Another stoppage as Joelinton is treated following another spell of players battling to keep the ball. Some good play from Fernandes as he controls a long ball from Murphy and then releases Sancho down the left. They were 4-1 winners in this fixture last season, when Cristiano Ronaldo marked his Old Trafford homecoming with a double, but that was against a very different Newcastle side.
Erik Ten Haag and company have started their recovery process from the 6-3 bashing they received from arch-rivals Manchester City.
Newcastle United have already scored nine goals in their previous two encounters and would look to increase their tally when they face Manchester United. A valiant outfit, the Magpies would look to bring their A-game when they arrive at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will face a huge challenge at the Theatre today battling it out with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has reported no new injury concerns and may name the same team for a third straight game. Sunday's match is expected to come too soon ...
- Miguel Almiron is vying to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time. - The Magpies have scored nine goals in their last two league fixtures, compared to just eight in their opening seven. - Newcastle are vying to score at least four goals in three consecutive league matches for the first time since October 1961. That should make things more open, which might help Manchester United. - Manchester United have won five of their past six Premier League games - as many victories as in their previous 18 fixtures. But I fancy Newcastle because they have been taking the game to their opposition, and the goals have started to flow - they have scored nine in their past two matches.
