Newcastle come full of confidence after 2 draws and 2 big wins 4-1 away at Fulham and 5-1 home to Brentford so they arrive at Old Trafford full of confidence even if they'll be without their record signing Isak for this one. They also have had the benefit of a full week to prepare for this one. Guimares and Almiron are the danger men for them on current form plus the set piece quality that Tripper provides from the right back position.
Utd face a really tough run in the space of 6 days we'll play Newcastle (h), Spurs (h) and Chelsea (a). 3 games that could really define the season get 3 positive results and we're right in a top 4 race suffer a few setbacks and it looks like another long slog of a season where the league isn't really that interesting to us.
Utd themselves are in great form the derby result was a knock but it's still 5 wins out of 6 in the league and 3 wins from 4 in Europe and you'd hope the last minute winner will give the team the bounce they need.
We await updates on injuries but there's little to suggest that AWB, Maguire, VDB and Martial will be back and McTominay will serve his 1 game ban for 5 yellow cards.
DDG
Dalot Varane Martinez Shaw
Casemiro Fred
Anthony Bruno Sancho
Rashford
Think we will see Varane and Shaw return to the back 4, in midfield think we might see the two Brazilians again and up top I can't see Ronaldo starting having done the full 90 mid week so guessing Rashford through the middle with Sancho back in on the left.
2-1 Utd
