Manchester United vs Newcastle United

Sunday 26 February, 17:30

Wembley Stadium

Manchester United come into this fixture in excellent form as they have not lost in their last nine games in all competitions, scoring an impressive 23 goals along this run.

The Manchester side still have four competitions to play for, as they are still in the Europa League, the Premier League title race as they sit five points off the top, the FA Cup and of course the EFL Cup.

Erik ten Hag might see this competition as their main hope at winning a trophy this season, as they still have plenty of football to play in the other tough competitions.

The Magpies are currently three games without a win in all competitions, so Eddie Howe will be hoping that his side can end this streak come Sunday and get his hands on some silverware.

However, the English boss will be without key man Nick Pope for this encounter, after he saw red in their Premier League match against Liverpool, causing him to be suspended for three games. That means forgotten man Loris Karius is set to make a stunning comeback to English football by making his debut for Newcastle in the cup final. The Magpies are aiming to win their first trophy since 1969.

In what is set to be a close affair, we predict the Red Devils might just come out on top, and you can get odds on them to win the match 1-0 of 7.90 at Bet9ja. Marcus Rashford has found the back of the net eight times in his last 11 games, and you can get odds for him to score anytime in the match at 2.50.

Bet9ja Odds (at time of writing, 90 minutes only): Man Utd win: 2.24, Draw: 3.30, Newcastle win: 3.30
