There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Newcastle's last 5 games (Premier League).

Prediction

  • Manchester United fell to a third successive defeat when they came undone by an inspired Wolves side at Molineux on Boxing Day.
  • Newcastle, meanwhile, made it four league victories in a row, with just one goal conceded across that timeframe, when they put three past Aston Villa at St James' Park.
  • The Magpies were victorious in a Carabao Cup clash at Old Trafford last season, and could inflict further misery on the hosts here.

  • Newcastle united to win and Isak or Gordon to score

  • EVERY single Manager since Ferguson can't be wrong. Clearly, the problem at Man United is the Player Culture. I know that we're in the Age Of The Spoiled Bas***d Player but it's at its most apparent here. Sir Jim has to sort out the Academy first before he can sort out the Team- their poor mentality is being transmitted by the Academy Players. This Team IS good enough to Win here, Amorim IS good enough to Win here but I still expect a Newcastle victory TBH.

  • both to score+over 2.5.

  • The only successful united will win here
