Manchester United and Newcastle United will be looking to continue their winning momentum when the two sides meet at Old Trafford.
United comes into this fixture after they returned to winning ways when they edged Everton 2-1 thanks to Antony’s equaliser and Cristiano Ronaldo’s 700th club goal.
Newcastle are on a two-game winning run after they cruised to a comfortable 5-1 victory over Brentford.
United’s win leaves them hovering above the Champions League’s spots in fifth with 15 points from eight matches, while Newcastle’s victory saw them climb up to sixth.
History will be on the Red Devils’ side heading into this fixture as they collected four points out of a possible six when the two sides squared off in the league last season. United secured a commanding 4-1 win in the first leg at Old Trafford before they played out to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at St James’ Park.
Erik ten Hag will be without defender Raphaël Varane and Donny van de Been, who are both out injured for the encounter, while Eddie Howe is expected to be without four players due to injury, with Karl Darlow, Emil Krafth, Jonjo Shelvey and Alexander Isak all on the sidelined.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be itching to rediscover his form for United after he netted the winning goal against Everton to bring his club goal record up to the 700th mark.
Miguel Almiron has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers this season as he has already bagged four goals in nine league matches, which included three goals in his last two appearances.
