Manchester United is set to be a significant encounter in the English Premier League. As both teams vie for crucial points, predictions suggest a tightly contested game. Newcastle, with their robust home advantage at St James' Park, will look to exploit Manchester United's defensive vulnerabilities. Conversely, Manchester United has historically performed well against Newcastle, boasting a strong attacking lineup that includes key players capable of altering the match's dynamics.

The Magpies currently occupy the final Champions League place, with the top five qualifying for Europe's premier club competition. Eddie Howe's men have won three on the bounce on either side of their Carabao Cup final triumph over Liverpool, with back-to-back victories after the international break leaving them in a healthy position.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Barnes, Isak
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Bayindir; Mazraoui, Lindelof, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Mount; Zirkzee
Harvey Barnes has deputised well, though, with a goal contribution in each of his last three Premier League games (with one goal and two assists in total). Players who won’t be featuring here include Sven Botman and Lewis Hall, half of Eddie Howe’s first-choice back four.

Even without those key men, Newcastle can be reasonably confident of keeping a clean sheet. Only Leicester City (14) and Everton (13) have failed to score in more Premier League games than Manchester United (12) this season; not since 1989-90 (16) have the Red Devils drawn a blank on more occasions.
Another shutout would be a very positive omen for the hosts, who have recorded their previous eight wins against Manchester United in all competitions to nil. Their last victory when conceding was over 20 years ago, with the 4-3 victory in September 2001 partly remembered for a late Roy Keane red card.
For fans eager to follow the action live, various streaming platforms will provide coverage of this exciting fixture. Major broadcasters such as Sky Sports and BT Sport are expected to offer live streams, allowing supporters worldwide to engage with the match in real-time. Additionally, social media platforms may also provide updates and highlights throughout the game.
In terms of lineups, both managers will likely deploy their strongest squads. Newcastle’s coach may opt for a 4-3-3 formation that maximizes their midfield control while ensuring defensive solidity. Meanwhile, Manchester United could employ a 4-2-3-1 setup that allows for fluid attacking play while maintaining defensive resilience. The tactical decisions made by each manager will undoubtedly influence the game's outcome.
