Newcastle United vs Manchester United Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 32 draws it curtain at St James Park on Sunday as Newcastle welcomes Manchester United. Can the Magpies build on their winning streak against struggling Red Devils? Find out the match preview and prediction in the article below.
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United are enjoying their best season, as the Magpies have secured back-to-back Premier League wins since securing their first major trophy in 70 years. However, the Magpies' impressive winning streak has put them in a good position in the race for the top five, which would see them return to the UEFA Champions League next season. On Monday night, Eddie Howe's side dispatched relegation-battling Leicester City 3-0 at the King Power Stadium to extend their winning streak to four matches in a row with two or more goals scored in their last three consecutive matches. Currently, they sit fifth in the Premier League standings with 53 points from 30 games, tied on points with fourth-place Chelsea, but have a game at hand.
Eddie Howe's side are enjoying a remarkable performance in their recent home games, having won each of their last two Premier League games and having suffered two losses in the last eight league games.
Jason Tindall believes Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe should be available for Sunday's Premier League visit.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United are enduring a tough performance this season, but the Red Devils will now come into this game on the back of two wins in their last eight matches across all competitions. Ruben Amorim's side extended their winless streak in the Premier League to two consecutive matches as they were held to a goalless draw in the Manchester derby last weekend. United was also held to a 2-2 draw against Lyon in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League, with a pair of errors from goalkeeper Andre Onana costing the team the game on Thursday night. United now sits 13th in the Premier League standings with 38 points from 31 games, seven points behind the mid-table. Bruno Fernandes may be rested at Newcastle.
Ruben Amorim's side has struggled badly with their recent away games, with the Red Devils having only managed one win from their last four Premier League road games.
