Newcastle United are only three points above the relegation zone and face both the Manchester clubs and Chelsea in their next four league games. They continue to look for a new owner and some signings to bolster their squad but neither seem to come along. United have only won one of their last six league games and that was against bottom of the table Huddersfield Town. They have failed to win any of their last three home league games and that includes a disappointing goalless draw with Fulham.

The 4-1 win over Bournemouth was Manchester United's third win in a week under their interim manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. 12 goals have been scored in those games and Paul Pogba all of a sudden wants to play again scoring goals and making assists aplenty. As the commentator on Sunday said "I hope Jose Mourinho isn't watching." It has to be said that three games against Cardiff, Huddersfield and Bournemouth should produce lots of goals and points, it'll be interesting to see what happens when they play a decent team.  That's not the case here and United can be backed to get another three points.
