Manchester United vs Newcastle: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Manchester United are still waiting for their new manager bounce with Ruben Amorim losing four of their last five Premier League matches ahead of the visit of improving Newcastle. A dismal 2-0 loss to Wolves, who have won two out of two since their own change of manager, even saw Amorim admit he must start improving results over he could follow predecessor Erik ten Hag out the door mere months into his tenure.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have shaken off their own dodgy form to record three wins on the bounce to climb from 12th to fifth. Alexander Isak has scored seven goals and provided two assists in his last six games, and you wouldn’t bet against him adding to that tally at Old Trafford.
Manchester United vs Newcastle is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Monday, December 30, 2024. The match will take place at Old Trafford. TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Live stream: Fans can catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app and website.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog. Manchester United are without captain Bruno Fernandes, after he picked up his third red card of the game, and Manuel Ugarte, for five yellow cards. That should see both Christian Eriksen and Casemiro come into the team, while Alejandro Garnacho is pushing for his first start since December 12. Marcus Rashford’s exile is expected to continue.
For Newcastle, Tino Livramento is expected to shake off an illness to start - which will see Kieran Trippier drop to the bench. Jacob Murphy has firmly established himself in the front three, so no place for Harvey Barnes. Sven Botman is “getting closer” after a year out, but will not feature in the final game of the year.
