It's the final game of the weekend but we'll start with this one as it's crucial one loaded with possible fall-out for any loser, given the situations Steve Bruce and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer find themselves in - getting hammered at Leicester and drawing at AZ Alkmaar will do that.
Bruce has never beaten United as manager but he'll never have a better chance with United without an away win in their last seven and with just four goals to their name in those contests. Things just aren't right at Old Trafford and, if Newcastle aren't going to get a response after their Leicester humiliation then they never will under Bruce. If, and it's a big if these days, their fans fill out St James' Park and produce a decent atmosphere then they'll have a real chance.
Both of these two have five points from the last five games and nothing about watching either of them that would give you any confidence in backing them to actually go on and win a game of football - between them they've scored 13 goals in 14 games and that tells you all you need to know.
United still have more quality, and surely they have to improve at some stage, but at odds-on there's no interest in backing them here, while the lack of attacking potency means even backing what should be nailed-on under 2.5 goals is pegged at prohibitive prices.
The 7/2 for Newcastle to edge it will tempt a few, but personally the 2/1 on them 'draw no bet' would be the recommendation, but you'd not want to entrust your hard-earned to either of those, so we're heading into the cards market. One thing these teams should both be is fired up so we can expect a few tackles - and no team has been fouled more than Man Utd this season - so in a game of so little quality but so many variables, having five bookings at least should be the one thing we can count on.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 Man United ()

Key stats
The much-maligned Europa League does have it's good points - and Arsenal's mid-week stroll against Standard Liege will give all involved a timely confidence boost ahead of another friendly fixture against a Bournemouth side who they've beaten at the Emirates five times out of five.
The problem for the Cherries here is that they like to play football, they just can't play it as well as Arsenal can - they also can't stop leaking goals, especially in London where they've let in five goals in each of their last three. While I don't think they'll ship another five, there should be goals here.

"The much-maligned Europa League does have it's good points" someone once wrote, but for Wolves it's quote the opposite who've only managed to beat Watford this season as Thursday night football has taken its toll - they could really do without a trip to the champions after playing out in Turkey this week.
It takes so much effort, so much concentration and focus on the gameplan to get anything from the Etihad. Wolves definitely have the players but surely won't have the reserves to dig out a result. There's not doubt that attack will be their best form of defence here as City's patched-up back line is a weak point.
