In-form Manchester United will be looking to cement their top four position when they take on mid-table Newcastle at St James' Park on Wednesday night.
United have been on fire since Michael Carrick took over as interim head coach, winning six and drawing one of their last seven Premier League fixtures. However, they were slightly fortunate to overcome Crystal Palace on Sunday, as a contentious penalty and a red card for Palace defender Maxence Lacroix enabled United to overturn a 1-0 half time deficit.
Whilst Newcastle have been superb in cup competitions in recent months, their league form has been somewhat less impressive. Saturday's 2-3 home loss to Everton dropped Eddie Howe's side down to 13th in the table, nine points outside of the Champions League places. Barring a dramatic turnaround in fortunes (or FA Cup success), the Magpies face the prospect of missing out on European football entirely next season.

Our Newcastle vs Manchester United Prediction
Newcastle are an extremely tough team to predict at the moment, so we are steering clear of the moneyline in this one.
United have also been in the goals over the last couple of months, whilst still showing some of the defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued them in recent seasons.
Similarly, the goals have been flowing at both ends in the vast majority of Newcastle fixtures this year, and there is no reason to believe that things will be any different on Wednesday night.
Our prediction for Newcastle United vs Manchester City is: Over 3.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
