Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has a number of players out of action. Jonny Evans (Muscle injury), Ayden Heaven (Foot injury), Amad Diallo (Ankle injury) and Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe The Red Devils seem most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, choosing Altay Bayindir, Noussair Mazraoui, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Harry Amass, Christian Eriksen, Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee.

We envisage that Newcastle United should be able to score a couple when they come up against Manchester United, who won’t find it easy to score.

We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning score for Newcastle United come full-time.
