Nick Pope could be back<\/a> and Sven Botman is getting better, but Dan Burn, Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier are all definitely ruled out.<\/p>\nEmil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles and William Osula are all also out.<\/p>\n
Manchester United vs Newcastle prediction<\/p>\n
Both sides are struggling coming into this fixture, but Newcastle have won five of their last six games against Manchester United and no Fernandes massively weakens Amorim’s team.<\/p>\n
But with Newcastle depleted so much in defence because of injuries, it seems very unlikely that the Red Devils will not at least score once at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
With a metaphorical hangover for both sides after Christmas, it would be no surprise to see a draw between them.<\/p>\n
Head to head (h2h) history and results<\/p>\n
As previously mentioned, Newcastle have a brilliant recent record against Manchester United, and they will be confident of picking up at least a point on their travels.<\/p>\n
Manchester United wins: 92<\/p>\n
Newcastle United wins: 48<\/p>\n
Manchester United vs Newcastle match odds<\/p>\n
Manchester United to win: 13\/10<\/p>\n
