Manchester United will face Newcastle United at Old Trafford on October 16.

The Reds are on the back of a 2-1 win against Everton and have picked up five wins out of eight games so far in the Premier League this season.

Eddie Howe’s side are also showing impressive form and have scored nine goals in their previous two matches. Newcastle are only one point behind United in the league table, so three points are a necessity for the Red Devils.

Injury news

The Magpies have been dealt a huge injury blow as summer signing Alexander Isak has been ruled out of the clash, after netting two goals in his first three appearances. Jonjo Shelvey will also be sidelined.
