Manchester United vs Newcastle Predictions

• Newcastle have only lost one of their last ten competitive games.
• Each of the Magpies’ last two away games have ended 2-2.
• Manchester United have only won one of their last four meetings with Newcastle.

Red Devils’ misery continues

Manchester United fell to another heavy derby defeat on Sunday and their miserable season could continue when last season’s Carabao Cup finalists meet again on Wednesday.

The Red Devils put in an abject performance against Manchester City but it was far from just a bad day at the office. 14 competitive games into the new season and they are yet to put in what could be described as a good display, losing half of their games and not looking convincing in the vast majority of their positive results.

Magpies seek revenge against Carabao Cup holders

Newcastle, by contrast, have looked excellent at times this season and will fancy their chances at Old Trafford. They have lost just one of their last ten competitive games and are unbeaten in their last four away games, while their only loss in their last four meetings with Manchester United was last season’s Carabao Cup final.

Both teams are likely to rest some key players for this tie and, given the respective form of them, backing Newcastle in the double chance market appeals. The Magpies have drawn three of their last four trips away and each of their last two ended 2-2 so, with the hosts struggling at the back, another 2-2 draw looks a solid option in the correct score market.
