READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Can Newcastle pick up a result against Manchester United this weekend?
If they play anything like they have done in recent matches, no. However, if they can replicate the type of performance they mustered against Tottenham in August, they have a great chance.
They need to be resolute at the back and counter quickly to create chances on the break against United – who have only won two of their seven games this season. Steve Bruce needs a good performance, at least, to go into the international break with a glimmer of hope for the rest of the campaign.
