Newcastle United vs Manchester United – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Newcastle United host Manchester United at St James’ Park tonight, aiming to secure a fourth consecutive home league win over the Red Devils and snap a dismal domestic run.

The Magpies have moved into a critical period of their campaign, currently sitting in 13th place after losing five of their last six Premier League games. Manager Eddie Howe oversaw a frustrating 3–2 home loss to Everton on Saturday and is now desperate to avoid a fourth consecutive home league defeat—a streak last seen at the club in 2018. Notably, 36% of Newcastle’s all-time Premier League wins against Manchester United have come under Howe’s tenure.

Newcastle United Team News

Eddie Howe manages a squad still missing several influential leaders due to a persistent injury crisis. Notably, Bruno Guimarães, Tino Livramento, and Fabian Schär are not expected to be available tonight, though they are nearing returns. Consequently, Sven Botman is poised for a recall to the centre of defence ahead of Dan Burn. Jacob Ramsey is expected to feature after overcoming an illness that forced him off at the weekend. Notably, Ramsey has either scored or assisted in each of his last three league appearances, despite failing to register a goal involvement in his first 15 games for the club.

Nick Pope will start in goal behind a defensive line likely featuring Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall. In midfield, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton are expected to anchor the side alongside Joe Willock. Anthony Gordon is likely to lead the line as a makeshift number nine if Nick Woltemade fails a late fitness test. Notably, Gordon has struggled for league efficiency this term, converting just 8% of his 38 shots into goals, a stark contrast to his 29% conversion rate in cup competitions.
