Manchester United have found St James’ Park a tough place to visit in recent years, but have a good chance to end that hoodoo when travelling to Newcastle this week.
The Magpies have lost their last three Premier League home games, conceding eight goals in the process, and now face a resurgent Red Devils outfit riding the crest of a wave under interim boss Michael Carrick .

Head-To-Head
Newcastle vs Man Utd head-to-head record
Admittedly, the Red Devils have lost on their past three visits to this venue, including a 4-1 drubbing last April.
They did come out on top at Old Trafford on Boxing Day, though, thanks to a Patrick Dorgu rocket before both teams hit the bar and then wasted good late chances.

The Magpies returned home from a run of four straight away fixtures to beat Qarabag in the Champions League last week, but only by a 3-2 margin after crushing the same team 6-1 in Azerbaijan . Newcastle’s previous two games at St James’ Park had ended in defeat against Aston Villa and Brentford , and the Tyneside woes were back with Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Everton .
Regular errors from Nick Pope and a disjointed defence lacking confidence have contributed to Eddie Howe’s team dropping down to 13th in the table. “Certainly, clean sheets have been a hard thing to find in recent games,” said the head coach. “We have to get back to the basics of our game and hit the right tones defensively. I still feel we’re capable of scoring goals at any time, but it’s at the other end it’s costing us.”
Being without Fabian Schar and Tino Livramento at the back hasn’t helped matters, along with missing Bruno Guimaraes in midfield of late. On recent evidence, 7/5 for both teams to score and over 3.5 goals in the game stands out from the Newcastle vs Man Utd odds .

There is a concern that the Red Devils have started slowly in their last three fixtures, but they did scramble back to draw at West Ham before beating Everton and Crystal Palace. A 57th-minute penalty by Bruno Fernandes and the corresponding dismissal of Maxence Lacroix proved the turning point against Palace , with Benjamin Sesko subsequently heading in a fine winner.
“Football is tough at times, and this league is tough, so you’re not always going to have it your own way, but to come back like we did and turn the game in our favour is the biggest thing for me to take from it, for sure,” declared Carrick . Picking up 19 points out of 21 under Carrick has propelled United up to third place, and the form of Sesko has been a huge bonus.
We picked out the Slovenia striker to score last against Everton and Palace , so it would be rude not to row in once more at 7/5 for the same bet here in our Newcastle vs Man Utd betting tips. Sesko also landed that wager against Brighton , Fulham and West Ham recently and don’t forget the SUB SWAP concession could come into play now he’s in contention to start.
