Man Utd team news
Scott McTominay was the stoppage time hero against Omonia Nicosia on Thursday night but won't feature against the Magpies while he serves his one-game suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards.
Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are both in the process of recovering from muscular injuries. Harry Maguire hasn't featured since sustaining a thigh strain on international duty but is nearing a return after accelerating his recovery with a training programme in Portugal.
Anthony Martial hobbled off within the opening half-hour of United's victory against Everton last Sunday, casting significant doubts over his availability this weekend.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Newcastle
Man Utd Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.
Bench: Heaton, Dubravka, Malacia, Fred, Lindelof, Sancho, Pellistri, Elanga, Garnacho.
Newcastle team news
Jonjo Shelvey is "ahead of schedule" in his return from a nasty thigh injury according to Howe. However, the midfielder only resumed training last week so is expected to remain on the sidelines this Sunday with Matt Ritchie (calf), Karl Darlow (ankle) and long-term absentee Emil Krafth (knee).
Newcastle's record-signing Alexander Isak has missed the club's previous two matches with a thigh problem but is closing in on a return. Allan Saint-Maximin made his return from injury off the bench against Brentford last weekend and could be afforded his first start since August at Old Trafford.
Newcastle predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Newcastle Starting 11 (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.
Bench: Karius, Lascelles, Joelinton, Murphy, Lewis, Targett, Wood, Fraser, Anderson.
Man Utd vs Newcastle score prediction
Historically, Manchester United have not been overly troubled when Newcastle travel to Old Trafford, losing just one of their last 37 Premier League home games against the Magpies (W27 D9).
However, this is a Newcastle team playing with verve and confidence like few of the recent iterations that have nervily entered the Theatre of Dreams. Howe's side have lost just once all season and are scarcely flattered by their sixth-place position going into the weekend.
Nevertheless, Manchester United are steadily rebuilding their own self-belief with each (admittedly narrow) win. In a match where their visitors will undoubtedly play a prominent, probing role, the Red Devils could extend their impressive record in this fixture.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Newcastle
