Анализ на прогнозата
Team News
- Federico Fernández picked up a knock against Watford on Saturday and is a huge doubt to face Manchester United.
- Javier Manquillo could replace DeAndre Yedlin at right-back if Rafa Benitez turns to fresh legs at the back on Wednesday.
- Kenedy is unlikely to start here after Benitez suggested the player needs to work harder in training.
- Christian Atsu, Ayoze Perez and Jacob Murphy are in competition for two places in Newcastle’s midfield.
- Joselu or Yoshinori Muto will get the nod if Benitez does not deem Salomon Rondon fit enough to lead the line here.
- Jonjo Shelvey came off the bench against Watford to make his first appearance in nearly a month and the former Liverpool midfielder could start against United.

Team News
- Eric Bailly starts a three-match ban for Manchester United after his red card against Bournemouth on Sunday. Phil Jones will replace Bailly at the heart of United’s defence.
- Marcus Rashford picked up a groin strain in the 4-1 victory but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident he will be fine to start in midweek.
- Ander Herrera could make way if Solskjaer opts for fresh legs in midfield, with Fred the likely beneficiary.
- Alexis Sanchez just missed out on a place in United’s matchday squad at the weekend but Solskjaer has confirmed he will be involved against Newcastle.
- Diogo Dalot and Matteo Darmian will push for starts if the United caretaker manager replaces either full-back at St. James’ Park.

Top Players
- Newcastle have only won one of their last seven matches and only Huddersfield (5) have picked up fewer points in Premier League home matches than the Magpies this season (7).
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won all three of his matches in charge of Manchester United by a combined scoreline of 12-3. They have cut the gap to fifth-place Arsenal to three points, though may be as many as six points behind by the time United play Newcastle on Wednesday.
- Newcastle almost shocked United at Old Trafford earlier this season but that was when Jose Mourinho was in charge of the Red Devils. United are now one of the form sides in the division under Solskjaer and are aiming for four league wins in a row for the first time this season.
