Newcastle United will lock horns with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as they try to pick up maximum points on the road. The Magpies managed to secure a dominant 5-1 win over Brentford last weekend which will keep them in high spirits for this game.
Eddie Howe will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could keep changes to a minimum for this game. We can expect Callum Wilson to lead the charge for the Tyneside outfit on the attacking third of the field.
4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup To Face Manchester United
Defence
Nick Pope will operate in between the sticks for the Magpies after conceding one goal versus Manchester United. Fabian Schar will function alongside Sven Botman at the centre of the Newcastle backline as they focus on stopping the Red Devils from scoring during the 90 minutes.
Kieran Trippier will continue to operate at right-back while Dan Burn tries to produce a solid performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will be given the license to express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Jamaal Lascelles will be available for selection on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions. However, Emil Krafth will definitely miss this game due to a knee injury.
Midfield
Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes will have to produce a good display collectively at the centre of the park. All three of them will be responsible for anchoring the midfield well and engineering some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Joelinton will have to be content with a place on the bench but could come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Jacob Murphy could get another opportunity to shine as the left-winger. Miguel Almiron would try to put his pace to good use from the right. He is enjoying a good run of form at the moment, so we can expect him to be full of confidence going into this Premier League clash at the Theatre of Dreams.
Callum Wilson will spearhead the Newcastle attack down the middle despite failing to score last weekend.
Ryan Fraser, Allan Saint-Maximin and Chris Wood will all have to settle for a spot on the bench as they await their chance to shine as the impact substitutes if Howe opts to call upon their services this Sunday afternoon. However, Alexander Isak is unlikely to recover in time for this game.
