The crucial aspect of this fixture is it sits in between Manchester United’s Europa League quarter-final fixtures against Lyon. United languish in 13th place on the table, so the only way they can play European football next season is through success in the Europa League. Newcastle, meanwhile, sit 5th and are well in the fight for a Champions League spot. The hosts have far more at stake in this fixture than the visitors for this reason. Newcastle have gone 8-1-4 as the home favourite over the last twelve months and in recent seasons they have gone 2-0-0 as the home favourite against Man Utd. United lost their two most recent visits to St. James’ Park and both defeats were to nil. Newcastle bring a three-game winning streak into this clash and they only conceded one goal across those games. They raced out to a 3-0 halftime lead against Leicester City in their previous fixture. This gave them the luxury of substituting Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, Murphy and Alexander Isak early on, which has kept them fresh for this fixture. Man Utd’s last three defeats were to nil and they failed to score in their last two games. Newcastle defeated United 2-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season.
