Probable starting eleven:

Newcastle:
Harper; Simpson, Coloccini, S.Taylor, Enrique; Gutierrez, Barton, Tiote, Guthrie; Ranger; Lovenkrands.

Manchester United:
Van der Sar; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Nani; Rooney, Hernandez.

Manchester United is strong favorite against Newcastle. And I see three reasons for away victory on this match.

1. Newcastle is very handicapped for this game. Manager Alan Pardew will be without two key strikers. Kevin Nolan is suspended, while Shola Ameobi is back from the knee injury, but this game come too early for him. Even more, Harper is doubtful, while Ben Arfa, Best, Smith and Gosling are definitely out.

2. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson welcomed back the best striker Wayne Rooney from suspension. Ferguson have all main players available except veteran Pol Scholes who is suspended. It is clear the quality is on Manchester side and I am sure they will be very motivate to win.

3. Manchester United have dominated against Newcastle in the last 10 seasons. It is almost unbelievable, but Manchester United have 14 victories and 3 draws in the last 17 games against Newcastle. Even more, Manchester won the last two matches at St.James Park:

04.03.2009. Newcastle - Manchester Utd 1:2
23.02.2008. Newcastle - Manchester Utd 1:5
