Player(s) to watch:

Alexander Isak, the 26-year-old Swedish striker from Solna, has played for clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad before joining Newcastle United. He has made 79 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 51 goals. He has emerged as a clutch player for the Magpies. He scored against United in the fourth minute to hand an early lead to the away side at Old Trafford when these two sides last met. Isak’s name will be etched in golden letters in Newcastle’s history books after he played a crucial role in helping the Magpies win their first-ever domestic trophy in seven decades.

Casemiro, the 33-year-old Brazilian midfielder from Sao Jose dos Campos, has plied his trade with clubs like Real Madrid and Porto before joining Manchester United. This season, he has made a total of 21 appearances for the Red Devils and also scored a solitary goal. One of Casemiro’s fondest memories will always be that opening goal against Newcastle United in the Finals of the Carabao Cup 2023 that helped Erik Ten Haag’s side win the EFL Cup. His presence not only offers defensive resilience to United but his acceleration with the ball makes him a handy option to initiate attacks from the middle of the park.
