Newcastle United have made a good start to the season. One blip against Leicester City aside, they have won all of their games. Most recently, they dispatched last season’s runners up and winner of 2 of the last 3 seasons Premiership titles, Liverpool in their own back yard at Anfield. Andy Cole scored a late winner, in the 88th minute in fact for Newcastle to dispatch the 10 man Reds.
That win would have sent alarm bells ringing around the Premier League that Diego Maradona may have gotten things to start clicking into place at St James Park finally, and that will be bad news for the rest of the title chasers.
But Maradona’s Magpies will face the sternest test of their credentials thus far, as they welcome the visit of defending champions Manchester United to St James Park. The Red Devils, led by the enigmatic Frenchman Eric Cantona have a fantastic record against Newcastle, beating them both home and away last season en route to romping to a massive 101 points and the league title.
Cantona helped himself to a hattrick at St James Park and will be in attack once again alongside Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy. They will once again be looking to breach the Newcastle backline. A Dutch/French combination will also be protecting the United backline, with Jaap Stam partnering Raphael Varane in a powerhouse center-back partnership.
Harry Kane returns upfront alongside Alan Shearer, with Andy Cole, who scored the winner at Anfield perhaps unlucky to return to the bench. Adama Traore is unwell and is replaced by youngster Harvey Elliot on the left. Timui Kitazawa gets a chance alongside Sergio Busquets ahead of Marco Veratti.
Can Newcastle topple the defending champions and log leaders to make another early season statement?
