Eddie Howe has a tough job in St. James' Park, of course. Manchester United also expects 3 points, but the probability of winning for Newcastle is somehow better than Manchester United as an away team. At least that's how it seems, but I'm inclined to think of a draw.
I had a great optimism on Newcastle but somehow Howe lost his touch after World Cup, which they got too many draw results in Premier League from that. But still they defense line is one of the best and if it's not because of Pope's red card, I think it would be a tough game in the Carabao Cup final against Man United few weeks ago, and perhaps Newcastle could won that. So yeah, I think draw is the most possible result in this game. Well too bad we have to wait 2 weeks to watch it lol.
