Newcastle are seventh in the Premier League table and 10 points off the European qualification places.

The Magpies were unbeaten in four, including wins over West Ham (4-3), Fulham (1-0) and Tottenham (4-0). Alexander Isak struck four goals in this run.

That winning streak ended with a 2-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Newcastle had just 0.55 expected goals and conceded twice in the second half.

Midfielders Lewis Miley, Joelinton, Miguel Almirón and Joe Willock are also out.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope is unavailable due to injury.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United are bottom of the Premier League and will be relegated if they lose at Newcastle.

The Blades are winless in 10, losing seven and conceding 32. United are also on a three-match losing streak after defeats against Brentford (2-0), Burnley (4-1) and Man United (4-2).

Jayden Bogle scored first at Old Trafford before the Blades conceded an equaliser. Ben Brereton Díaz restored the lead after half time but Chris Wilder’s side conceded three more goals.

Verdict

Newcastle v Sheff Utd

Newcastle win a lot of home matches and Sheffield United are out of form. Isak is hard to contain and he can fire the Magpies to back-to-back home triumphs.
