Newcastle United
Eddie Howe has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Newcastle United manager will be bereft of the services of four first-team players vs Manchester United on Sunday.
Anthony Gordon is closing in on returning from a hip injury after resuming training. Meanwhile, Howe has been sweating over Alexander Isak’s fitness due to the Swede’s recent struggles with a groin injury. However, Isak should be fit and available. Meanwhile, Joe Willock is unavailable due to concussion protocols, joining Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Lewis Hall (foot), and Sven Botman (knee) on the sidelines.
Nick Pope will likely take his spot between the sticks, with Newcastle United lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The backline should feature Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Valentino Livramento.
As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton. Finally, Alexander Isak will spearhead the Newcastle United attack against Manchester United on Sunday, with Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy being the two wide attackers.
Manchester United
Like his counterpart in the Newcastle United dugout, Ruben Amorim has no new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to St. James’ Park. The Manchester United manager will be without six first-team players on Sunday.
Amad Diallo is the most notable absentee due to an ankle injury. The Ivory Coast international accompanies Matthijs de Ligt (foot), Jonny Evans (back), Ayden Heaven (foot), and Lisandro Martinez (knee) on the sidelines.
Altay Bayindir might replace Andre Onana between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The central defensive unit will feature Noussair Mazraoui, Victor Lindelof, and Leny Yoro. Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu are automatic picks as the two wing-backs.
The wide duo will provide width in the final third and protect the centre-backs during the defensive phases. As for the midfield unit, Bruno Fernandes will likely pair up with Manuel Ugarte in the double pivot. Finally, Joshua Zirkzee should lead the line for Manchester United against Newcastle United, with Alejandro Garnacho and Mason Mount providing creative support.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Barnes, Isak
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Bayindir; Mazraoui, Lindelof, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Mount; Zirkzee
