Explore predictions, team news and betting tips for the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester United on Sunday 13th April (4:30pm BST).
Tip 1
United’s captain has drawn the joint-most fouls for his side in the PL this term with 36 alongside winger Alejandro Garnacho.
Fernandes has won 2+ fouls in his last two league games against Forest and City, with Newcastle likely to pose a similar threat to the visitors on Sunday as these two teams have done previously.
In terms of this particular bet, the Portuguese has been successful 10 times in the league, and with United fluctuating he is much more likely to receive the ball deeper and get on it more in general to make something happen for his team.
Newcastle’s midfield three of Guimaraes, Joelinton and Tonali have also combined to give away a total of 131 free-kicks in the top tier this season.

Tip 2
Barnes holds a goal contribution in each of his last three matches, producing an assist against West Ham and then Brentford before scoring versus his former employers in Leicester on Monday.
Although he’s been largely limited to sub appearances and has even missed a number of games through injury, he’s still been able to muster nine goal contributions for the club and should thrive against this vulnerable United side.
Dalot has been carded in his last two matches versus Man City and Lyon, with the former helping lift his tally of fouls committed to 40 for the league season – the most of any United player.
With the wing back directly facing the in-form speedy winger Harvey Barnes, we can envision the attacker getting the better of his adversary and seeing the Portugese defender enter the ref’s book for a third consecutive match.
