Every game in the Premier League is full of excitement, and this match between Newcastle and Manchester United is a highly anticipated one.Both teams are currently facing some injury problems, so there may be some adjustments in their lineups.Let’s take a look at the possible lineups for both sides.
Let’s start with Newcastle, who are playing at home.They have a number of players out with injuries, posing a big challenge to the coaching staff.In the backline, Lewis Hall is unavailable due to a foot injury, while Sven Boatman and Jamal Lascelles are both recovering from knee injuries and will be unavailable for the time being.Midfielder Joe Willock, who previously missed the last round with a concussion, is not yet able to return.
There is uncertainty over winger Anthony Gordon, who is recovering from a groin injury and a decision on his availability will not be made until before the game.Striker Isaac, though also injured recently, is a good bet to be in the starting lineup and continue to be the centerpiece of the attack.
Let’s take a look at Manchester United, who are playing on the road.The team also has a number of injuries.In the backline, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Aiden Haven, Amad Diallo and Toby Collier are all out.Martez de Ligt in particular is out for the third game in a row after he was injured in the previous game against Nottingham Forest.
With an important UEFA Cup game next week (against Lyon), United boss David Amorim may make rotation arrangements for this league game.For example, there is a chance that Lindelof, Mason Mount as well as Zylkiser will be in the starting lineup.
There are also some changes in the goalkeeper position.Onana has not been too consistent lately, so the manager might choose to give substitute goalkeeper Altay Bayindil his Premier League debut and let him start in place of Onana.
Newcastle’s starting lineup is expected to be in a 4-3-3 formation:
Pope in goal; Trippier, Schaal, Bourne and Livramento at the back in that order; a midfield consisting of Guimarães, Tonali and Chorrington; and three strikers in Murphy, Barnes and Isaac.
United, on the other hand, are likely to use a 3-4-2-1 formation:
Bayindil in goal; three center backs in Mazravi, Lindelof and Maguire; a midfield four consisting of Dalot, Fred, Ugarte and Dolgoo; Garnacho and Rashford up front; and at the top of the line, center forward Zirkser.
This game is not only about the standings, but also a test of the depth of both teams’ squads.Whoever can cope better with the effects of injuries will be more likely to do well in the tournament.Let’s wait and see which team can step up at the crucial moment to win.
