Newcastle and Manchester United are playing on the Barclays English Premier League schedule on Wednesday and the match is live from St James' Park as Wayne Rooney and company try and keep things going on the road and things start at 2:45 pm ET on the NBC Sports Network and NBCSN Live Extra website online.
Man United comes in looking to stay in the top four of the Premier League and this is a chance to get points away from Old Trafford. Manchester United defenders Phil Jones and Luke Shaw will be back in the lineup and Michael Carrick also could be in. Man United has played very well over the last stretch of weeks, as they have only lost twice in the last 21 matches and that bodes well for the team on Wednesday.
Man United has won the last two trips against Newcastle and they are looking for another one now. The team has only lost once in the last 11 games at the stadium and they need to start playing better overall on the road. The team has only lost two of the last 17 games in EPL play and Wayne Rooney historically has a good run against the team, having scored over 12 goals against them in his career.
Man United comes in after a win against Sunderland and before that they lost away against Swansea City. The team comes in with the FA Cup quarters coming up with Arsenal and after playing Newcastle the team has Tottenham and Liverpool on the Premier League table. Man United also has Man City, Chelsea and Everton on the schedule and all of those games are important if they want to stay where they are on the league table.
