Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with WBA, Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Newcastle United at their Old Trafford on Sunday evening. The Red Devils aim to melt Man City’s advantage in the Premier League standings, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Magpies. Since Paul Pogba should be the only absentee in the home team, we are tempted to put our money on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s charges.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with the team remaining in the danger zone. Seeing that the Magpies are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing hosts. It has to be noted that key attacker Callum Wilson remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
