United have a tendency to drop a result early in the season, but they have shown a lot of acumen early on this season and this new side seems to be gelling quite well. It will be interesting to see if Fergie deploys a more youthful line-up here and gives players like Darron Gibson and Gabriel Obertan a run out. I expect to see Javier Hernandez in this one and he's good value to score, in my opinion. 

You can lock in an 11/10 price on Chicharito to score at any point in the match and if you see his name on the starting line-up sheet (I think Fergie will try to partner him playing just ahead of Rooney) then you should definitely back him to score. His pace and ability should be too much for Newcastle and the fact that he's a bit of an unknown quantity makes him especially dangerous. 

Nani should make an impression here and he's priced at 6/4. I can see him getting the nod ahead of Giggs, who Fergie will likely try to keep on the bench in case United need a game changer with 20 minutes left. Antonio Valencia should be dangerous, as always, and you can back him at a 21/10 price to score anytime. Gabriel Obertan is listed at 11/4 anytime. 

Andrew Carroll is the favoured goalscorer for Newcastle and he's trading at 15/4, but I'd back Shola Ameobi to score ahead of him, and you can back Ameobi at a 9/2 price. 

Manchester United on a (-2.0) handicap is trading at an 8/5 price tag. Newcastle (+2.0) is listed at above even-money with an 11/10 call. If you fancy over 4.5 goals, you're looking at a very tidy 5.5 price. 

There is a serious chance that United might try to run up the score if they get a shot at it to take some of the luster out of Chelsea's victory. This is a tougher fixture for Newcastle than they would have liked, but it goes without saying that they are the best-looking promoted side, on paper.
