On Sunday, we have a battle of the United's with Newcastle United and Manchester United meeting at St James’ Park.

Newcastle come into this game battling to finish in the Champions League slots, while Man Utd are focused on next week’s Europa League quarter-final second leg.

With that in mind, our Newcastle vs Manchester United predictions have the home side taking all three points.

Read on for my Premier League picks for Sunday, April 13, with kickoff at 11:30 a.m. ET on the USA Network.

Premier League predictions for Newcastle vs Man United

My best bet: Newcastle to win (-145 at DraftKings)

My analysis
Matchday 32 in the Premier League is upon us, and Newcastle vs. Manchester United is the fourth and final game on Sunday’s slate. Both clubs come into this in wildly different places, and we’ll be backing the home side to come out on top for a number of reasons.

Firstly, let’s look at Newcastle. This is a team who are flying high right now and are firmly in a good place.

The club entered the weekend fifth in the Premier League. While they’re within touching distance of Nottingham Forest in third, they’re also only two points ahead of Aston Villa in seventh. 

Then there’s Manchester United, who are firmly in the bottom half of the table and, if we’re honest, already beginning to look forward to next season and a summer transfer window that will allow Ruben Amorim to build a team in his own image.

The return of Kobbie Mainoo can’t come soon enough for Man Utd.

While the youngster is set to return to Premier League action, patience will be needed after a long injury lay-off, and he might not be able to dictate the tempo of the game immediately. 

Newcastle have injuries but with Anthony Gordon close to a return, and potentially featuring on the bench, they could be set to add another x-factor to the team.

Newcastle have won the past two games at St James’ Park against Man Utd, and they also beat them on their own turf at Old Trafford earlier this season. 

There’s also next week’s second leg of that Europa League game to consider.

With it poised at 2-2, Man Utd will be focused on winning that one, given that it’s the only trophy they can win this season.

Newcastle vs Man United same-game parlay (SGP)

Newcastle to win

Alexander Isak to score

Both Teams to score: NO

As always, we start with our best bet and then add Alexander Isak to the score.

The Newcastle star is third in the Premier League’s goal-scoring charts with 20 goals to his name this season, and with Erling Haaland injured, he has a great chance of leapfrogging him and finishing second to Mohamed Salah.

He’s in great form, with five goals in his past six games in all competitions, including one against this same opposition earlier in the season.

To finish the SGP, we’re taking Both teams not to score.

Man Utd have failed to score in their past two Premier League games and are really struggling to find goals within their team.

They’ve scored the sixth-fewest league goals and face a Newcastle team who have kept a clean sheet against them in their last two visits to St James’ Park.
