Manchester Utd vs Newcastle – Preview, and Prediction
Manchester Utd vs Newcastle – Manchester United will meet Newcastle at Old Trafford on Wednesday in the last 16 round, replaying the League Cup final from last year.
When Newcastle began their League Cup campaign in September, they had already defeated the other Manchester team, the Citizens, 1-0 at St. James’ Park. Could they replicate this at Old Trafford?
Manchester United, which fell to eighth in the Premier League after a 0-3 home loss to city rivals in the Manchester derby this weekend, enters the game with low confidence.
These days, defensive scrupulosity is a major challenge for Eric ten Hag’s guys. In the last six games across all competitions, they have only managed one clean sheet.
Having said that, Newcastle is now facing severe issues with its injured and out-of-action players. In the 2-2 draw away at Wolves over the weekend, their major players were worn out.
The Magpies have only been victorious once in their previous three matches across all competitions, and they have kept a clean sheet just once.
Eddie Howe’s team has only triumphed once in their last six away games in all competitions, making the situation appear much worse away from home.
