-----------------------------------

 

Manchester United return to the Premier League after a devastating coronavirus outbreak on Monday and will travel to Newcastle United.

 

Newcastle United

 

Newcastle United lost 0-4 to Manchester City at home last time out. Newcastle have conceded 11 goals in their last three defeats and their survival task has become more difficult every week. There is no doubt that conceding 41 goals is the worst defensive record in the top league in 2021-22. They were still 19th in the table before the boxing-day game.

 

Manchester United

 

After the club's training center closed, a series of covid-19 forced the postponement of clashes with Brentford and Brighton. Two key 1-0 victories over Crystal Palace and Norwich City meant that the Red Devils were sixth in the table before Sunday's game - five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with two games in hand. The team have been unbeaten in six games in all competitions and have scored goals in all away matches so far this season.

 

Prediction

 

Newcastle's defence is exhausted and easy to break. Monday's game should provide Rangnick with a great opportunity to win convincingly and score a lot of goals on the road.

 

1X2 Pick: 2

 

Final Results: 0-2, 0-3
