Newcastle host Manchester Utd in the 5th round of the Premier League at St.James' Park (Newcastle) on Saturday, October 17 and the match kicks off at 3pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
Newcastle are 9th in the table with 7 points from their first four Premier League matches. They won on the opening day, away against West Ham (0-2), then lost at home to Brighton (0-3), and drew with Tottenham in London (1-1). Lastly, they defeated Burnley (3-1), who are without a single point so far. Their Saturday's opponents Man Utd are in the 16th place with only 3 points from their respective foxtures, albeit with a game in hand. After being thoroughly dismantled by Tottenham at home (1-6), they desperately need points to get them going.
MATCH ANALYSIS
After a last-ditch penalty controversy against Tottenham, where Newcastle didn't do much in the game and were too cautious, they bounced back against Burnley at home. Saint-Maximin was a threat throughout as he scored and set up Callum Wilson for another. Newcastle had won just 1 of their past 8 home league games prior to Burnley's arrival at St James' Park and apart from a short spell after the break, the Magpies put in a commanding performance.
Matt Ritchie, Necastle midfielder, who is facing a lengthy absence as he is set to have a shoulder operation, and Dwight Gayle with knee injury are ruled out for the match while the star of the last match, Saint-Maximin is being assessed after suffering an ankle injury. However, with some of the players possibly returnig, including goalkeeper Dubravka, The Magpies will be in the good position to record another win on Saturday against low-on-confidence United.
The criticism Red Devils received after their defeat to Crystal Palace didn't subdue after their controversial win against Brighton where they left too much space, weren't aggressive enough and lost possession quite often. To make things worse, another disastrous result followed with Tottenham scoring for fun against 10-men United. It was their joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League and truthfully, if they want to fare better they need to press better, recover more balls and last but not least, decrease the volume of negativity.
Meanwhile, they signed left back Alex Telles from Porto and veteran Uruguayan striker Cavani who won't be in the squad for Newcastle game because of Covid-19 regulations that require a 14 days quarantine following his arrival from France. Another blow for Solskjaer will be the absence of Martial who is suspended for the trip to St.james'. The Red Devils definitely need to pick up their game for the Saturday's visit to Newcastle if they don't want to start chasing the pack already.

This will be the 27th time the two teams have met since the turn of the century and Man Utd has been far more successful with 17 wins. The Magpies won 4 and the other 6 were draws. Newcastle won their last meeting at home last year (1-0), but lost the reverse fixture 4-1.
Newcastle have won 35% of their last 20 home league games and Man Utd have lost 30% of their last 20 away league games.
55% of Newcastle's last 20 home league games have ended with Both teams scoring (W3-D3-L5) while 40% of Man Utd's last 20 away league games ended that way (W3-D0-L5).
Their head-to-head games have averaged 3.08 goals with Newcastle scoring 0.89 on average and United averaging 2.19 goals per match.
If Man Utd play too cautiously, the Magpies can easily grab a winner in this match. I predict a tight game, where Steve Bruce will try to exploit his attackers pace on the counter.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
