Newcastle United make the trip to Manchester United on Monday evening looking to continue their promising run of form.
Eddie Howe’s side are searching for a fifth consecutive win in all competitions. The Magpies have eased to comfortable league wins over Aston Villa, Leicester and Ipswich of late and will move back into the Premier League’s top five with another victory.
Alexander Isak has scored seven goals in December alone, with Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy also in fine form. European football is back on the agenda for Newcastle after a mixed start to the campaign.

Newcastle take on a Manchester United side in contrasting mood. Beaten at Wolves on Boxing Day, the Red Devils have lost three games in a row in all competitions. Ruben Amorim’s arrival is yet to have had the desired impact with tonight’s hosts languishing in 14th place in the table.

Eddie Howe is expected to have Tino Livramento available after the right-back missed the win over Aston Villa through illness. The youngster’s return is likely to see Kieran Trippier drop to the bench.
Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Nick Pope and Emil Krafth all remain unavailable. However, the latter is stepping up his recovery from an ACL injury and getting closer to a return. Botman’s return will be a huge boost for Newcastle as the Magpies bid for a top-four finish.
