Manchester United – the shape of the team and its analysis: it’s not for nothing that everyone is talking more and more about replacing the coach
“The Red Devils”, speaking about the recent months, can only count victories over Sheffield United in the Premier League and Coventry in the cup semi-final. Still, even then, “the Blades”, the twentieth club of the Premier League, scored twice, and they did not maintain a three-goal advantage, knocking it out only in a penalty shoot-out, with the representative of the Championship. On Sunday, Arsenal needed only 1 goal to defeat the old rival.
Newcastle United – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club improved its performance at the decisive moment
“The Magpies” were unable to maintain their level of the previous season, which they spent consistently in the top 4. The additional pressure of returning to the Champions League after a hiatus of a couple of decades and an epidemic of injuries led to a number of losses, especially in the middle of the cycle. Still, the competitors are also unstable, and the spring spurt helped “the Magpies” enter the European tournament zone. Most matches have been won since the end of March – only Everton played a 1-1 draw and Crystal Palace won with a 2-0 score. As a result, a 1-1 draw in the struggle with Brighton in the previous round looks more like losing a couple of points than gaining one. The club pulled away a little from Manchester United, but Chelsea, on the other hand, is already close, with the equal number of points.

Newcastle United: team news
Eddie Howe has more players recovering than playing, although Pope has started to get into the line-up for matches, and Wilson is already scoring.
