Newcastle Thriving under Eddie Howe
Going into the weekend, Newcastle are one of the most impressive teams in the league. As mentioned before, they have a goal difference of +17. The only team to have a better goal difference is Manchester City (+20). Liverpool and Arsenal both have an equal goal difference of +17.
The most recent fixture for Newcastle was a home win against Chelsea in which the hosts dismantled them by 4 goals to 1. One of the most exciting things about Newcastle is that they have a diverse selection of goal scorers. Essentially, rather than having a single focal goal scorer, Newcastle has plenty of players that can score goals. The likes of Anthony Gordon, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton all spring to mind. If Manchester United want to win this match, they will have to do their upmost best to avoid letting these tricky players make their way through the lines.
In-form Manchester United Aiming for 6/7
Ten Haag has created a siege mentality to his loyal Manchester United players. Despite falling out with numerous players, such as Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, he has still managed to win 5 of his last 6 Premier League matches. The Manchester United squad appears to change every single week, signifying the uncertainty in the manager’s mind. For the upcoming Newcastle match, it is a mystery as to which Manchester United side we will see play.
The best Premier League match of the season for United was their last time out. Travelling to a hostile Everton, Manchester United managed to win the game 3-0. It is also the first time this season that they have won a Premier League match by more than one goal. In the game, Alejandro Garnacho scored a wonderful bicycle kick in the opening two minutes. It is already a strong contender for goal of the season and potentially a winner of the Puskas award. Another key performance was that of Kobbie Mainoo, who started his first ever Premier League match for the Red Devils. He put in a man of the match performance, alongside Garnacho, indicating how the two teenagers of the side are currently performing at the highest level. Could we see these two return to the pitch against Newcastle? If so, Manchester United will have a better chance of winning, given the fact that both of them have a little spark about them.

Players to Watch
Going into the Premier League fixture, both Newcastle and Manchester United have got interesting characters on the pitch.
Newcastle
The top players for Newcastle include Miguel Almiron and Anthony Gordon, both of whom have come up with the goals for the team time and time again. Their most creative outlet is Kieran Trippier, who has provided plenty of assists this season. One player to keep an eye on is Joelinton. Not because he can potentially win the game for the side but more because he is a player that is likely to be booked.
Manchester United
For Manchester United, the goals tend to be scored by Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay. It is interesting that their goal scorers are both midfielders, but the strikers have been failing to hit the back of the net this season. Interestingly, Bruno Fernandes is also the most likely to end up with an assist, as he is also a provider and not only a goal scorer. The player to keep an eye on as they could potentially be carded is Harry Maguire, who has come back into form but seems to dive into challenges at times.
