Newcastle welcome Manchester United to St James’ Park on Sunday, April 13, in a game that could possibly be another silencing of Amorim’s Red Devils, with the Magpies having beat United 2-0 already this season in the reverse fixture.
Eddie Howe’s lads are flying high after four straight wins in all competitions including three in the league, while United’s inconsistency continues to plague their campaign.
⚫Newcastle Eye UCL Return with Home Advantage | Home Win = 1.70💵
Newcastle sit fifth in the Premier League and are well-placed to secure Champions League football, especially with a game in hand over rivals.
Eddie Howe’s side brushed aside Leicester 3-0 on Monday, showing clinical form in front of goal. They’ve also won four of their last five meetings with United, including a dominant 2-0 win earlier this season.
Sunday’s clash is pivotal to keeping their top-four hopes on track. Expect a confident, attacking Toon side in front of a roaring home crowd.
🔴Man United Seek Stability Amid Turmoil | Away Win = 5.10💵
Man United’s European hopes hang in the balance after a string of unconvincing performances. A 1-1 draw away to Lyon in midweek followed a dull 0-0 against Man City.
Defensive errors have plagued their season, with Onana again in the spotlight for costly mistakes. Manager Amorim seems to be aware of his side’s shortcomings and know his side must show grit to avoid falling embarrassingly further behind in the league, with pressure mounting as the season nears its climax.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Newcastle remain without Willock (head), Lewis (ankle), Botman (knee), and Hall (foot). Murphy, fresh off a brace against Leicester, will start alongside Gordon and Isak in a fluid front three.
Man United are without Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans due to injury. Bruno Fernandes is set to lead the midfield again, with Zirkzee likely to start after scoring in Lyon.
