It’s a critical top-five battle in the English Premier League on Sunday when Newcastle United host Manchester United at St. James’ Park. Newcastle (12-11-3) are seeking to avenge a 2-0 loss to United in the EFL Cup final in February and can surpass them in the table with a victory. United (15-5-6) are third in the table, three points ahead of the Magpies and one in front of Tottenham. Spurs visit Everton for a Premier League match Monday. Newcastle won consecutive league matches before the break, while the Red Devils are unbeaten in their past four. The only league match in that span was a 0-0 draw March 12 with last-place Southampton
Newcastle also have gotten a huge boost since Alexander Isak returned from injury. He has six goals in just 10 league appearances this season, and Allan Saint-Maximin and Anthony Gordon also are dangerous attackers. Man United will be missing critical midfielder Casemiro, who is suspended, and that should leave more openings in the middle of the field. The Magpies are one of the league’s best teams at home, going 7-5-1 with a plus-12 goal differential (21-9).
The Magpies are out for revenge, and the League Cup loss wasn’t exactly a fair fight. Newcastle were down to their third-choice goalkeeper, with Nick Pope on a red-card suspension and Martin Dubravka cup tied. Pope is back, and he shares the Premier League lead with 12 clean sheets and ranks third in save percentage (77.2). The goalkeeper is a big part of a Magpies back end that has conceded 19 goals in 26 matches. United have allowed 35 goals this season.

Newcastle vs Man United Team News
Neither Miguel Almiron (thigh) nor Emil Krafth (ACL) will be at Howe’s disposal for Sunday’s battle, while Ryan Fraser remains exiled as he trains with the Under-21s, but Joelinton is back from a two-game ban for accumulating 10 yellow cards.
As is the case with many Premier League sides, the Magpies must assess a wealth of injury and illness doubts following the international break, with all of Nick Pope (knock), Sven Botman (fever), Allan Saint-Maximin (thigh) and Anthony Gordon (ankle) uncertain for the visit of Man United.
However, all of Pope, Botman and Saint-Maximin have been put through their paces in training and ought to be available, although ex-Man United loanee Martin Dubravka will be on standby if number one Pope is not given the green light to play.
