Optimal wager: Newcastle Victory to None.
Although Newcastle lost the EFL Cup final to Manchester United the previous season, the Magpies went on to win their next two games against the Red Devils. At St. James’ Park, where they have won six of their opening seven Premier League games this season, including a 1-0 triumph over leaders Arsenal, they will be aiming for a hat-trick of victories.
Tuesday’s crucial Champions League away match between Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain was marred by a controversial injury-time penalty, but Manchester United also experienced disappointment in Europe as they finished bottom of Group A after a 3-3 draw at Galatasaray.
Team news
Midfielders Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock will not play on Saturday, according to Newcastle manager Eddie Howe. Lewis Miley, who is 17 years old, should get another chance to start given that the Magpies are also without the suspended Sandro Tonali and the injured Callum Wilson, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Dan Burn, Sven Botman, Elliot Anderson, Matt Targett, and Javier Manquillo.
Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, is available after sitting out the midweek trip to Turkey owing to suspension. The injured players are Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez.

In their last 40 home league games, Newcastle has only lost at home to Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. This season, Manchester United has not won any of its four Premier League encounters against teams in the top half. In just two of the Red Devils’ previous eight league games, both teams have managed to score. Three of Manchester United’s last four games against Newcastle have ended in goals being conceded.

Prediction
Newcastle and Manchester United, who both had difficult away games in the Champions League this week, will undoubtedly struggle with fatigue. A chilly evening is anticipated at St. James’ Park, where Eddie Howe of Newcastle may have to start with the same starting lineup that faced PSG in its entirety on Tuesday due to the club’s injury crisis.
The Magpies, who defeated Chelsea 4-1 at St. James’ Park last weekend and held strong until the 98th minute against the French champions in Paris, may benefit from having home advantage. After defeating Manchester United 2-0 in their league match at St. James’ Park last season, Newcastle defeated United 3-0 at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup earlier this season.
And it’s wise to back the Magpies to win to zero on Saturday after they recently defeated Brentford, Crystal Palace, Arsenal, and Burnley at home while maintaining perfect attendance records. All eight of Manchester United’s Premier League victories this season have come against teams that began the weekend in the bottom half. Erik ten Hag’s team let slip 2-0 and 3-1 leads against Galatasaray.
