Manchester United seek to widen gapCasino-Billionaire-www.casinobillionaire.co.uk
A testing trip to Newcastle (13/2) gives Manchester United (1/2) the chance to re-extend their lead at the top of the Premier League.
Sir Alex Ferguson´s men, who have seen their cushion at the summit of the top flight reduced to four points after wins for both Chelsea and Liverpool, play one of two games in hand tonight at St James´ Park.
The Magpies have taken just three points from their previous four home fixtures and were beaten 5-1 on their home turf by Liverpool after Christmas, with United winning by the same scoreline in last season´s corresponding fixture.
Newcastle will have to compensate for the loss of Nicky Butt - a knee problem denies the tough-tackling midfielder the opportunity to play against his old club.
Kevin Nolan misses the game through suspension, while first-teamers Michael Owen, Damien Duff and Joey Barton are all sidelined through injury.
United striker Wayne Rooney has taken a shine to Newcastle, scoring more times against the Geordies than any other Premier League club.
The irrepressible England international bagged two goals on his return from a hamstring injury last month before being laid low with a virus - fit again, he is 5/1 to score first here, with last season´s 42-goal predator Cristiano Ronaldo priced at 4/1.
Newcastle recently welcomed Obafemi Martins back from the treatment table - the Nigerian silenced Old Trafford with the opener in August´s 1-1 draw and is 9/1 to break the deadlock on this occasion.
Elsewhere, fourth-placed Aston Villa can go six points ahead of Arsenal in fifth if they beat Manchester City at Eastlands.
City triumphed 1-0 over Villa on home turf last season - with City having won all seven matches in which they have kept a clean sheet, the same scoreline is priced at 7/1 this time around.
Injuries to Robinho and Craig Bellamy and the departure of Jo to Everton on loan may force Mark Hughes to thrust young Bulgarian Valery Bojinov into action.
The stocky striker was tipped for great things after impressing in Serie A with Fiorentina, but has suffered from several injuries since signing for City - Bojinov is 7/1 to make it 1-0 with his first goal for the club.
Meanwhile, Villa boss Martin O´Neill faces the dilemma of whether he should pair speedy frontman Gabriel Agbonlahor with Emile Heskey or John Carew.
Carew scored within three minutes of his arrival as a substitute for Heskey in the 2-2 draw against Stoke City last weekend and is 11/2 to net first here, with Agbonlahor priced at 5/1.
