Jacob Murphy Starts On The Bench | 4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester United | OneFootball

Newcastle United could extract only a draw against Brighton in the Premier League last week. The former side stands sixth in the points table with 57 points after 36 rounds of play. They have two games remaining in this term.

The Magpies’ next fixture is an away one against Manchester United this week. It will be a good test for them and they will be motivated to get a win at the Old Trafford. It will be an interesting game to watch for the fans considering the qualities both sides bring onto the pitch.

Defence

Martin Dubravka showed great resistance in the previous game. He is operating between the sticks for Newcastle United ahead of Nick Pope, who might need more time to recover fully. It will be a tough call to pick between Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier for the right full-back position.

No change in the centre-back duo of Emil Krafth and Dan Burn. Both defenders will have to be at their best to keep United’s attackers in check. Lewis Hall gets retained in the lineup for his left-back role.

Midfield

Bruno Guimaraes operates in the middle of the park with the presence of Elliot Anderson and Sean Longstaff. It will be interesting to watch how the trio performs to command the game.

Jacob Murphy is likely to make way for Miguel Almiron on the right flank. However, Anthony Gordon leads the offensive line while Alexander Isak gets the nod for the left winger role.

Matt Targett (Achilles), Lewis Miley (back), Joe Willock (calf), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Sandro Tonali (suspension), and Sven Botman (knee) are the confirmed absentees for the Magpies. Fabian Schar has made good progress from a thigh injury but is unlikely to be risked in this game.
