Manchester take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 19 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 30th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United made life difficult for themselves by winning the FA Cup at the end. With this argument, ten Hag, who had already practically packed his bags after the disastrous 2023/2024 season (the last place in a simple quartet of the Champions League and a fall from 3rd to 8th place in the Premier League), got another chance, strengthened by the purchase of a number of newcomers in the off-season... But in the end, Eric was quite rightly removed in mid-autumn for constant failures. And Ruben Amorim has to rebuild and experiment on the fly, and not without conflicts with players like Rashford and Garnacho. It is not surprising that there are plenty of misfires, from 1-1 in the debut of the new coach with Ipswich to elimination from the League Cup after a failure with Tottenham. Both Bournemouth and Wolverhampton lost without responding to the goals conceded.

Newcastle are unstable, but always dangerous. After the change of owners, the Magpies almost immediately got Eddie Howe as a new coach. There is no reason to regret this: he started by winning a tough fight for survival, and in 2023, having raised his charges to 4th place, he finally returned them to the Champions League (where they were unlucky in the strong company of PSG, Milan and Borussia Dortmund). And in general, they managed to finish the season in 7th place, ahead of Manchester United on additional indicators with an equal number of points. However, the Red Devils, having won the Cup, left the Black and Whites even without the Conference League. Perhaps this had such an impact, but in the summer, Saudi investors actually deprived the young manager of newcomers. So the results can still be considered successful: the club made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, and did not completely lose the chance to reach the European Cups through the championship. Moreover, having defeated not only Ipswich, but also Aston Villa, they climbed to 5th place.
In 2023, the Magpies managed to win three times in a row. But in May, the Mancunians finally won at home. The Magpies look at least no worse. We bet that they can even win away, but we will insure ourselves with a "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
