United travel to Newcastle to play the third important game in a week. With good results in the first two games I’m hopeful that the team will travel back to Old Trafford later this evening with three points.
Ferguson has hinted that there will be changes in the team from the line-up against Lyon and I think that we might see players like Fletcher, Carrick and possibly Tevez starting the game. Also Nani who has impressed Alex lately with his progression is a good option for Giggs who got a minor knock in the game on Wednesday. I have been complaining on Giggs’ performances lately so no one would be more satisfied than me if Nani would replace Giggs. We might also see O’Shea playing on the right replacing Brown who has some fitness worries.
While United is high on confidence since the last two games, Newcastle has not one since the 15th of December. One of Newcastle’s biggest problems has been its defensive play and this is something United would have to take advantage of. I’m sure we won’t see another 6-0 game but with the attacking talent in the United squad, there should be room of creating lots of scoring opportunities. I think this game will be a lot tougher and that we will see a game that resembles more to the first half of last game (which ended 0-0). However in the end I think United is too strong for Newcastle and will go home with three points.
My prediction: 1 – 2
