Newcastle United will face Manchester United at St James’ Park tonight, seeking to achieve their fourth straight home league win over the Red Devils and improve their recent form.
The Magpies find themselves in a crucial phase of their season, currently in 13th place after suffering five defeats in their last six Premier League matches. Manager Eddie Howe is eager to avoid a fourth straight home league loss—something not seen at the club since 2018. Notably, 36% of Newcastle’s all-time Premier League victories against Manchester United have been secured during Howe’s time in charge.
Newcastle United Team News
Eddie Howe’s squad is still dealing with injuries to key players. Bruno Guimarães, Tino Livramento, and Fabian Schär are not expected to feature tonight but are getting closer to returning. As a result, Sven Botman is set to return to the defense, likely replacing Dan Burn. Jacob Ramsey is anticipated to play after recovering from an illness that sidelined him last weekend. Ramsey has been involved in goals during his last three league games, despite not having scored or assisted in his first 15 matches with the club.
Nick Pope will take his position in goal, supported by a defensive line that will probably include Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall. In midfield, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton are expected to team up with Joe Willock. If Nick Woltemade is unfit, Anthony Gordon may step in as a temporary striker. Gordon has had a tough time scoring this season, converting only 8% of his 38 shots into goals, which contrasts sharply with his 29% conversion rate in cup matches.

Newcastle United Predicted XI (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Willock, Tonali, Joelinton; Barnes, Woltemade, Gordon
