Newcastle United vs Manchester United: Manchester United to outperform Newcastle

Newcastle United welcomes Manchester United in game week 19 of the premier league. Will Newcastle cause an upset or will the red devils outclass them?

Brighton Form

Newcastle are coming into the game with a 4-0 defeat against the blue side of Manchester. They have now conceded eleven goals in their last three games. They are placed nineteenth on the table and it's not looking good for the magpies. They also have conceded the most number of goals in this season with 41 goals. They would want to win and get out of the bottom three by winning this game.

Manchester United form

Manchester United's previous game was a narrow 1-0 win against bottom-side Norwich. Though they are sixth in the table with three games in hand, they have narrowly escaped a defeat on many occasions this season. They are not displaying the dazzling football that we associate with the red devils. After a long Covid break, they would be looking to start on a positive note.
