A place in the UEFA Europa Conference League is up for grabs as the Premier League season enters the home stretch.
Manchester United hosts Newcastle on Wednesday, May 15 at Old Trafford in Stretford, England. If the season ended today, Newcastle would qualify for the Europa Conference League with 57 points and the tiebreaker over Chelsea, but trailing by only three points, Man United has a chance to overtake both Chelsea and Newcastle with a strong end of the season. Interestingly, Chelsea will be playing at the same time as Man United and Newcastle, so it could lead to some interesting back-and-forth moments as fans and players keep and eye on either game.
Man United are however in a rut to end the season. Erik ten Hag's side have only won once in his team's last eight league games, dating back to mid-March. The injury crisis at Old Trafford continues to plague the club, and the center-back duo of Jonny Evans and Casemiro hasn't provided any solutions. Wednesday's match may be a chance for Ten Hag to make some changes to find three key points.

Newcastle have also dealt with a ton of injuries this year, including a pair of ACL tears to center-backs Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman. But finishing with a place in Europe, after a rough first half of the season, will bring some relief to the club and its fans.

Man United vs. Newcastle prediction
Man United and Newcastle have both struggled with injuries this season, but Newcastle getting back some of their stars at this point of the season is a good sign. Add to it that the team is playing with confidence after wins over relegated sides Sheffield United and Burnley and Newcastle should get it done on the road.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-1 Man United
