Eddie Howe’s predicted Newcastle United XI v Manchester United with major Kieran Trippier call: photos

Man Utd v Newcastle United: Old Trafford is braced for a huge Premier League clash that could decide the race for European places.

Newcastle United know a win at Old Trafford, just their second in Premier League history, will secure them a 7th place finish and a likely return to Europe - should Manchester City lift the FA Cup. Any dropped points could offer Chelsea the chance to overtake them whilst a defeat means Manchester United are firmly back in the race.

Eddie Howe will be keen for his side to react from their draw against Brighton on Saturday and repeat the performance that saw them triumph 3-0 in the Carabao Cup back in November. But what side will Howe name for Wednesday night’s game?

Here, we take a look at the starting XI that Howe could name for Newcastle United’s clash with Manchester United. Do you agree with our prediction? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there.
