Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Manchester United to win — 2.16
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Player to get yellow card: Casemiro — 3.0
Manchester United are likely to win because they are unbeaten in their last nine matches [7W2D] while Newcastle United have two wins in their last six matches [2W3D1L].
Yes, under 2.5 goals. There’s a chance this game could end with less than three goals despite four of Manchester United’s last five games ending with over 2.5 goals. This is because only one of Newcastle United’s last eight matches ended with under 2.5 goals.
The Brazilian is obviously one of the favourites to get on the referee’s book. He got booked against Barcelona on Thursday night and there’s a chance he’ll get booked again against Newcastle United.
The Red Devils are in superb form, having won seven and drawn two of their last seven matches across all competitions, including Thursday’s comeback 2-1 win over Barcelona in the second leg of the round of 32 in the Europa League.
Man United, who qualified for the round of 16 in the Europa League, are occupying the 3rd position in the Premier League with 49 points after 24 matches.
The Magpies are in decent form but they succumbed to a comfortable 2-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend in the Premier League.
Newcastle United will be without some key players for the game, including first-choice goalkeeper, Nick Pope, who got a red card against Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s side dropped to the 5th position after 24 matches with 41 points.

We say Manchester United 2-0 Newcastle United. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last seven matches, including Thursday’s 2-1 win over Barcelona. Newcastle United lost at home to Liverpool. Based on current form, Man United should win the final.
There’s a chance for a comfortable win for Manchester United.
