Hello and welcome to this live commentary for the Premier League fixture between Newcastle United and Manchester United from St. James' Park.
These two sides have recent history after Manchester United enjoyed a victorious day at Wembley when Erik ten Hag's side secured a 2-0 victory in the EFL Cup final. Now, fresh off the international break, the Magpies look to enact revenge in the league. Eddie Howe's side won their last two fixtures before the break and could move back into the top four, until Monday at least, with a win today.
United continue to battle on three fronts with FA Cup and Europa League action on the horizon for the Red Devils. They are winless in their last two Premier League games and another defeat today would see Newcastle leapfrog them and United drop down to fourth. They have an impressive recent record over the Magpies having not lost in their last six encounters and will be seeking to extend that form in this crucial game.
NEWCASTLE UNITED SUBS: Joelinton, Elliot Anderson, Matt Ritchie, Martin Dubravka, Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon, Jamaal Lascelles, Javier Manquillo, Matt Targett.
NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock; Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Allan Saint-Maximin.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, Nathan Bishop, Harry Maguire, Facundo Pellistri, Fred, Jack Butland.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Marcel Sabitzer, Scott McTominay; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
Manchester United have won more Premier League away games against Newcastle than any other side (14). However, they've lost two of their last five such visits (W2 D1), having lost just one of their previous 13 at St James' Park.
A total reversal from the first half of the EFL Cup a few weeks ago with Newcastle well on top this time. Isak has had 21 touches while Weghorst has had just seven and that is a key difference between the sides. The Swede has held up the ball expertly for his side and allowed Saint-Maximin to get plenty of opportunities on the ball. Weghorst, however, can't get the ball to stick and has failed to offer any kind of support to Rashford and Antony on the flanks.
Midweek Premier League action awaits both sides. Newcastle travel south to face West Ham while United welcome Brentford to Old Trafford.
