Newport County vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Ian John | in FA Cup Prediction
Newport County face Manchester United in the FA Cup Fourth Round on Sunday. Rodney Parade will be packed to the rafters as the Welsh League Two minnows host one of the biggest clubs in world football. A place in the last 16 of the competition awaits the winner and Manchester United will have to be wary as Newport have found the net at home against five of six Premier League opponents in cup competitions in recent times. United though were last year's beaten finalists in this competition, losing 2-1 to Manchester City at Wembley, and they will certainly be focused on performing well in the FA Cup once again.Limited Offer.

Newport County - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Newport County have never played Manchester United before, but they have proven to be a tough team to beat for Premier League opponents. Over the last decade or so, the Welsh side have faced six Premier League opponents at home, scoring against five of them, and securing a draw (and a replay) in four others. Manager Graham Coughlan has led his team to 14th in the League Two table, but their recent form suggests better things ahead with the Exiles unbeaten in their last seven games, winning four and drawing three. Newport reached the Fourth Round after beating Oldham Athletic 2-0, then beating Barnet 4-1 after a 1-1 draw in their first second round tie. They then overcame Eastleigh, once again with a 3-1 win in a replay after a 1-1 draw.
Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United team sits 8th in the Premier League and have lost nine games already this season in that competition. However, they have drawn just two games this season, one at home, one away, which suggests its been a feast or famine for United fans following their favorites. The Red Devils form has been patchy all season long, and their record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last six games in all competitions exemplifies this. Scoring goals on the road has been a real problem with just 9 in 10 games in the Premier League. They did manage two in their 2-0 win at Wigan Athletic in the Third Round of the competition though and over the years, United have a very good record against lower league opponents in the FA Cup, even if they have been struggling in their league campaign.
Erik ten Hag has described this FA Cup trip as a 'nightmare' for United as they are expected to win and win well against a tricky opponent, who also have found good form of late. County were also boosted by the news that Huw Jenkins has taken over as chairman. The former Swansea City chairman took over as chairman of the club once his purchase was ratified last week.

Newport County & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Newport boss Graeme Coughlan will have an almost fully fit squad available for the game. Young center back Josh Seberry is not far away from a return from a broken arm, but it may be February before he is back in contention to play. Omar Bogle could miss out, which has seen County move into the transfer market to sign Wales U21 forward Luke Jephcott on a free transfer from St. Johnstone. He is expected to go straight into the squad for Sunday's game.
Manchester United will be without a number of players for this game. Andre Onana and Sofyan Amrabat are away on African Cup of Nations duty, while defenders Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will all be absent. Anthony Martial should be fit after an illness last week, while on the positive side of things, Harry Maguire and Mason Mount are both close to a return to first team action. Alejandro Garnacho will likely be the man to watch for United after being one of their best players over the course of the current campaign.
