Manchester United and Newcastle United are set to clash in what promises to be a scintillating EFL Cup fourth-round showdown. With both teams vying for a place in the quarter-finals, the stakes are high. The Old Trafford will come alive on Nov 1, 2023, at 8.15 pm UK time as these two footballing giants face off in what is a rematch of last year’s EFL Cup final.

Analysis: Manchester United’s journey since their triumphant EFL Cup victory over Newcastle last year has been a rollercoaster. Erik ten Hag’s men, despite their 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace, seemed to have lost their touch, especially after the recent Manchester derby where they were comprehensively beaten. Their 3-0 win over Palace was a rare moment of joy in a season that has seen them face numerous setbacks. The Red Devils, who historically have a solid record in the EFL Cup fourth-round ties, are facing a challenging period with seven defeats already this season.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, has had its moments of glory, especially the commendable victory over Manchester City. Their recent performances, including a dominant 8-0 victory over Sheffield United, show that they can be a force to reckon with. However, their form has been inconsistent with a loss to Borussia Dortmund and draws against West Ham and Wolves. With a winless run against Man United stretching over seven matches, the Magpies will be hungry to change the narrative.

Prediction: Goal.mu/Mauri.bet predicts: Manchester United 2-1 Newcastle United. Reasoning: Given Manchester United’s home advantage and their historical record against Newcastle, they seem to have the edge. However, Newcastle’s recent form suggests they can pose a significant challenge.
