'As much quality as Old Trafford roof': Chris Sutton makes Newcastle clash prediction

Speaking to BBC Sport, Chris Sutton said: "We've started to feel sorry for Manchester United. Saying things like 'they put up a good fight' in their defeat by Arsenal, or talking about how they pushed them and made it edgy.

"I agree they did all of the above, but surely with Man United you want to see a bit more quality in their performance as well? At the moment, they are showing about as much quality as the roof at Old Trafford.

"It's hard to see anything different from them so I am going to back their team to lose again. I might have been wrong with the exact scoreline in the Gunners game, but Arsenal were always going to win.

"I thought Newcastle would beat Brighton on Saturday, but they missed Callum Wilson, who was ill. He could be back for this game, though, and would give them the cutting edge they were missing against the Seagulls."

Sutton's prediction: Man United 1–2 Newcastle

Man United head into the Newcastle game at Old Trafford on Wednesday night with nothing almost to play for given their Premier League standing.

However, the Red Devils will be eager to get back to winning ways ahead of the FA Cup final against champions-in-waiting Manchester City at Wembley.
