Prediction
Funnily enough, this may be the perfect game for the Magpies. A massive game in front of their home crowd against a struggling team; they will fancy their chances of getting a result.
United will severely miss Pogba and Martial, and without them, simply don't look capable of creating goalscoring opportunities.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 Manchester United
