Prediction: Newcastle 0 Utd 2

Vidic, Rio, Brown & Evra will start again.

Rooney and Tevez will resume their partnership upfront. Anderson may play if one of the strikers is rested.

Owen is again the main threat for Utd.

Prediction: Utd 2 Arsenal 1

Vidic & Brown shld start together with Evra and O'shea or Simpson. Time for Rio to get a rest.
Hargreaves or Fletcher will be used to guard Frebegas and either Anderson or Carrick to provide linkup to the forwards. Ronaldo may also get a rest, so Park and Giggs or Nani will play.

Out: Ben Foster (long term), Gary Neville (ankle) Silverstre (long term)
Probable: Saha (knee)

Adebayor and Frebegas are the men to watch for the Gunners.
Out: Walcott (thigh), Gael Clichy (hamstring)
