We simulated Newcastle Utd vs Manchester United to get a score prediction

Manchester United will be looking to secure their fourth successive Premier League win this weekend, as they take on Newcastle United at St. James' Park.

United's form in the Champions League has been patchy at best, with the Reds drawing 3-3 with Galatasaray in midweek, but Ten Hag's side have no such issues in the Premier League, having won their last three league games in a row without conceding. Both sides will be missing several key players for this game, with Newcastle set to be without at least 10 players and United set to be missing at least eight, including Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Casemiro.

So, can United continue their winning ways in the league on Saturday? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Newcastle could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Kaminski; Mengi, Lockyer, Osho; Kabore, Nakamba, Barkley, Doughty; Townsend, Ogbene; Morris.

We predict that Man United could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fernandes, Mainoo; Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho.

Manchester United were simply hopeless in the first half of this simulation, with Ten Hag's side finding themselves 2-0 down at half-time, and it could have been even worse. Two goals from Miguel Almiron gave United a hill to climb, with the winger's second goal coming just before the break.

The Reds needed a big improvement in the second half to stand any chance of getting anything from this game, and that's exactly
