Both Newcastle and Manchester United come into this Saturday night clash on the back of thumping Premier League wins last weekend.
And the pair also earned away Champions League draws in midweek, though both will be hugely disappointed in doing so.
Newcastle looked set for a famous win in Paris but for yet more disgraceful officiating, allowing Kylian Mbappe to score a late penalty.
That was a few days after a huge 4-1 win over a rejuvenated Chelsea side at the weekend – the third time in five home games they’ve scored four goals after wins over Crystal Palace and PSG.
They’ve won seven of their last eight home games, conceding just THREE times during that run.
While Man Utd will be kicking themselves at throwing away 2-0 and 3-1 leads to draw 3-3 at Galatasaray.
It wasn’t a total surprise given their mental fragility in the Champions League and what’s gone on before them, nor because they’ve got a goalkeeper who “makes easy saves look hard” according to Paul Scholes.
In contrast, they haven’t conceded in their last three Premier League games and sit a point above Saturday’s opponents.
The visitors have won just one of the last five meetings between the sides – with Newcastle winning 3-0 at Old Trafford in the cup a few weeks ago – and their last win at St James’ coming back in 2020.
Odds correct at time of writing but subject to change
Their recent home record speaks volumes and there’s no reason that won’t continue here.
They put a power of work in on Tuesday night, though United’s game was 24 hours later.
With big wins over Chelsea, Crystal Palace and PSG here in the last six weeks, they can carry that on in this one.
Have beaten Man Utd 3-0 and 2-0 in last two encounters.
The Newcastle star has actually gone five games without a booking for club and country, which is impressive for him.
He picked up three bookings in October – with PSG and Dortmund games in there – and then again in the home win over Arsenal – three of the Toon’s biggest games in that five week spell.
Will have to stop fellow Bruno playing and that Man Utd counter attack. Good price too.
This will potentially depend on the visitors and how they set up.
If it’s Diogo Dalot, we’re quids in we reckon as defensively he’s not as sound as Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Gordon is the out ball for the home side and has won 24 fouls in 12 Premier League games. Can improve on that average of two per game here.
