Manchester United take on Newcastle in decisive sixth-place clash.
Manchester United host Newcastle United at Old Trafford this Wednesday at 20:00 [GMT+1] in a midweek showdown crucial for both sides' European qualification hopes.
Manchester United
Manchester United were left with back-to-back defeats following their 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Super Sunday. Casemiro was a spectator once again as Leandro Trossard tucked away the only goal of the game, leaving the Red Devils winless in three league games.
The defeat left United with 54 points, placing them in 8th ahead of the midweek fixtures. The Red Devils are three points adrift of 6th-placed Newcastle, setting up a crucial head-to-head clash in the race for European qualifying places.
Sunday’s defeat against the Gunners mathematically rules out a finish above 6th place for Manchester United. Winning both of their next two games is essential, making Wednesday’s clash against Newcastle decisive.
Manchester United have only lost their final home league game in one of the last 16 seasons, going down 2-0 against Cardiff in 2018-19. Furthermore, the Red Devils have lost just one of their 28 Premier League home games against Newcastle.
Erik ten Hag is expected to field a 4-2-3-1 formation with Rasmus Højlund in attack. With injury worries persisting, Casemiro and Jonny Evans might feature again at the heart of defense for a third successive game.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United remain mathematically within reach of a fifth-place finish, with Spurs currently occupying the spot and going up against title-chasing Manchester City on Tuesday.
The Magpies, who picked up a 1-1 draw at the weekend with Brighton in what was their final home game of the season, will have to win their next two games to have any chance of leapfrogging Tottenham by goal difference.
Newcastle are in 6th place with 57 points and have already beaten Manchester United twice in all competitions this season, including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup. Victory on Sunday will leave Newcastle with back-to-back away league wins for just the second time this season.
Eddie Howe is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation with Isak, Barnes, and Antony Gordon in attack.
