Manchester United hosts Newcastle United in round 4 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 11th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United is in 3rd place in the English Premier League standings. The Mancunians have seven points after three rounds. Manchester United have not yet been defeated in the current season. The Red Devils had an impressive start in the championship with a major victory over their bitter rival Leeds (5-1). After that, Solskjaer's men lost points in an away game against Southampton (1-1). On August 29, the Red Devils beat Wolverhampton away (0-1). Despite the score, the Wolves created many problems for Man United's defense. Only thanks to the luck and excellent play of goalkeeper David De Gea (five saves), the Red Devils kept a clean sheet. One goal was enough for them to win — Mason Greenwood scored at the end of the 2nd half.

Newcastle United is in 17th position in the Premier League standings (one point after three matches). The Magpies have not gained a single victory in the 2021/22 season yet, although they have already played four matches in two tournaments. In the starting rounds of the Premier League, the Black-and-Whites were weaker than West Ham (2-4) and Aston Villa (2-0). Then they were eliminated from the League Cup, losing to Burnley in a penalty shootout (0-0 and 3-4). Newcastle missed a victory over Southampton on 28 August (2-2). The Magpies took the lead twice after the goals of Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin, but the Saints avoided defeat thanks to a penalty kick that was converted in the 96th minute.
The match at Old Trafford could be special thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. The opponent for the triumphant return of the Portuguese is suitable. Newcastle is not in the best condition. The Magpies are experiencing defensive problems — they conceded at least two goals in each round of the Premier League. The visitors will have a hard time in the match against the eminent attack of the Red Devils. In four of their last five games against Newcastle, the Reds have won with a difference of two goals or more. It is possible that the match on Saturday will be similar to the home game of Man United against Leeds.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with -2.0 handicap
