Man United have lost their last three games against Tottenham, Bournemouth and Wolves. They have dropped to 14th in the Premier League table, with just 22 points from 18 games, 12 points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest.
The team's best chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League is through the Europa League.
The "Red Devils" are in poor form with only 2 wins in the last 7 matches in all competitions. At home alone, coach Ruben Amorim and his team have only won 13 points after 9 matches this season. The pressure on the Portuguese coach is getting heavier as he has only been in charge for 5 weeks.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are fifth in the table heading into round 19. Eddie Howe's side are just five points behind fourth-placed Forest, having scored a total of 30 goals, nine more than Man United.
Newcastle have won their last four games in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and conceding none. Having not played in European competition this season, the Magpies have an easier schedule than their opponents.
Welcoming Man United, Newcastle need to be cautious as they have only won 1 match against the visitors after 39 recent home matches. However, with their current performance, the Magpies are still rated higher than the Red Devils.
Expected lineup
Man United: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Mainoo, Dalot; Amad, Hojlund, Garnacho
Newcastle: Dubravka; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; J Murphy, Isak, Gordon
