England EFL Cup: Man Utd VS Newcastle || Thursday, 02 November at 04:15 GMT +8

Manchester United, currently ranked eighth in England’s top flight, will appreciate a break from the Premier League after a 3:0 derby loss against Man City, who have suffered seven defeats in their last 13 matches since August.

United, once a formidable club, has lost more league games at Old Trafford since Alex Ferguson’s retirement than in the 26 years he led the club, with the club losing four of its last seven games on home soil.

Newcastle, currently sixth in the Premier League, is in a different direction, having lost only one of their last ten matches in all competitions. Eddie Howe’s side has improved their form in recent weeks after a sluggish start to the campaign, with a point at Wolves in their most recent EPL match.

Predicted lineups:

Man Utd

Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Sergio Reguilon
Midfielders: Sofyan Amrabat, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount
Forwards: Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund

Newcastle

Goalkeeper: Nick Pope
Defenders: Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Targett
Midfielders: Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Miguel Almiron
Forwards: Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon
