Man Utd vs Newcastle: Predictions & Odds
Man Utd and Newcastle lock horns in the final of the EFL Cup on Sunday where we are expecting a close and competitive match. Man Utd are the favourite to lift the trophy and have far more experience in cup finals than their opponents. However, Newcastle are chasing Champions League football this season and have a team more than capable of winning a trophy so this should be a very tough match to predict and might even go all the way to penalties.

The last two meetings between these two clubs have ended in stalemates and we’re predicting another draw at the end of the opening 90-minutes in Sunday’s League Cup final which is bound to be a tight and tense affair.

Man Utd vs Newcastle LineupsMan Utd
Manchester United booked their place in the League Cup final with a comfortable 5-0 aggregate win over Nottingham Forest. Ten Hag’s men picked up a 3-0 victory at The City Ground, which almost guaranteed their place in the final, and followed that up with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. Man Utd have won the League Cup on five separate occasions, four of which have arrived in the 2000s. Van de Beek, Eriksen and Martial will all miss the trip to Wembley through injury.
Predicted Lineup: De Gea (GK), Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho & Rashford
Newcastle
Newcastle’s route to the final wasn’t as clearcut as Man Utd’s but after they picked up a 1-0 win at St Mary’s in the opening leg against Southampton, there was never much doubt as to whether the Magpies would finish the job. Eddie Howe’s men claimed a 2-1 win at home and a 3-1 aggregate victory to earn their chance at winning the club’s first-ever League Cup trophy. Newcastle have plenty of history in the FA Cup but have never managed to win the League Cup before. That task has been made even tougher by the fact that Newcastle’s first and second-choice goalkeepers are unable to play in the final meaning that the former Liverpool goalkeeper Karius will start his first competitive game in almost 2-years. Willock, Kraft and Joelinton are all injury concerns for Newcastle this weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Karius (GK), Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Wilson & Saint-Maximin
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Marcus Rashford
There can only be one player to watch in this weekend’s League Cup final and it has to be the in-form forward, Marcus Rashford.
The England international has scored 5-goals in the League Cup this season and has netted 24-goals in all competitions. The 25-year-old is in fantastic form right now with 8-goals in is last 10 appearances in all competitions and the Newcastle defence have a tough job on their hands stopping Rashford this weekend.
Rashford could make all the difference between success and failure for Man Utd this weekend and even if the game ends in a draw as we have predicted, Rashford is likely to have made an impact during the opening 90-minutes and would be one of Man Utd’s penalty takers should the game go the distance.
