Newcastle will face the Red Devils in the 4th round of the 23/24 Carabao Cup after defeating Man City in the previous stage of the EFL Cup. In a clash reminiscent of the 22/23 Carabao Cup final, both teams will face off again. Last season, Man Utd clinched the title, besting the Magpies with a solid 2-0 score.
Man Utd secured their spot in the Carabao Cup’s 4th round by trouncing Crystal Palace with a 3-0 win. The Red Devils hold the current title, having overcome the Magpies in the previous year’s finale. This triumphant moment marked the end of a six-year wait for a trophy.
For Newcastle, they’ll have to up their game to avoid a repeat of their last cup final loss. With the EFL Cup eluding the Magpies throughout their history, they will aim to change that this season.

After a three-match winning spree, the Red Devils faltered with a 3-0 loss in the Manchester Derby over the weekend. They’ll need to rally from this setback against Man City and put on a solid performance in the upcoming EFL match. A strong showing in this match is crucial if they aim to hold onto the EFL Cup again this season.
Before falling to Dortmund in the recent UEFA Champions League round, Newcastle had an impressive eight-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Their latest league encounter resulted in a 2-2 standoff against the Wolves. The Magpies will try to avoid a repeat of last year’s final, and we expect them to head into this encounter looking for a win.
Of their last ten encounters, Man Utd has bested Newcastle on six occasions, suffered two defeats, and settled for a draw twice. Notably, one of Newcastle’s triumphs over the Red Devils was a 2-0 victory in the 2nd leg of the previous season’s Premier League match.
Let’s get to the heart of this discussion – our predictions for the Manchester United vs. Newcastle United match.

Holding the title as the 3rd top achiever in the Carabao Cup, Man Utd added their 6th win to the tally last season. Eager to seize the trophy again, we anticipate a solid performance from them, especially on their home turf at Old Trafford, ensuring they don’t fall to the Magpies. Also, they should perform well so the home fans forget about the recent loss in the derby.
Newcastle faces a challenge, with Sandro Tonali – their record acquisition and a pivotal player – sidelined due to a ten-month suspension. Given their record of just one victory against Man Utd in their recent five clashes, and with the potential appearance of heavyweights, Newcastle might find it challenging to prevail.

Both teams have let in four goals in their recent five games; defense is a shared concern. While Newcastle boasts an impressive scoring streak this season, we predict they’ll find the net in this match. Considering the offensive prowess on display from both sides, both teams will likely score in this face-off.

In their last five encounters, goals have been at a premium, with four matches concluding with fewer than three total goals. Given the knockout stage’s high stakes, both teams might adopt a more conservative strategy, focusing heavily on fortifying their defenses. So we expect limited scoring chances and total goals below three with football betting odds of 1.81 (8/10).
Man Utd will be without Lisandro Martinez for an extended period. Injuries have also plagued Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, and Casemiro. Additionally, Jadon Sancho won’t be part of the action due to a suspension imposed by the coach.
Sandro Tonali will miss the rest of the season for Newcastle after getting a ten-month ban on Thursday. Other unavailable players include Harvey Barnes, Alexander Isak, Sven Botman, and Jacob Murphy due to injuries.
We expect a closely contested match between the teams, but Man Utd will likely secure a narrow victory and qualify for the next round. Use the insight provided in our Man United vs Newcastle betting predictions to stake on any online bets.
