Man U Too Strong for Newcastle Defence
Newcastle v Man Utd – Live on Setanta Sports 1, k/o 5:15pm
After the 6-0 humiliation at the hands of United in December, Newcastle have much to prove in front of their fans. Results since Keegan took over have been disappointing, with the second-half surrender to Villa, resulting in a 4-1 defeat, only the latest in a catalogue of poor performances
Newcastle will have had two weeks to prepare for when Man Utd, and old sparring partner Sir Alex Ferguson, turn up at St James' Park. The Red Devils will, no doubt, be expected to hand out a routine thumping and the likelihood is they will, especially after trouncing Arsenal 4-0 in the FA Cup.
If Newcastle can somehow engineer a win it could just rescue their season. A glance at the Magpies squad would suggest they have several players – Damien Duff, Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins – capable of troubling Ferguson’s side. Unfortunately, Newcastle’s defence is shambolic to say the least and with United’s attacking threat, it looks like it will be too much for the Magpies to take.
With Man Utd in lethal form and Newcastle's defence still suspect expect a high score line with 1:3 looking tempting to small stakes at 13/1 with Gamebookers, the bookies have priced Man Utd as firm favourites at a general 1/2, meanwhile Newcastle have been given long odds of 6/1 by bet365 to get the first win of King Kev’s reign.
Man Utd at 8/15* with Unibet.
