Wednesday’s winner will advance to the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup.

Why you should back Manchester United

Despite his struggles this season, Marcus Rashford remains a world-class goal scorer. Last season, Rashford had a standout campaign, scoring 30 goals across all competitions, including 17 in the Premier League. He is just the 12th player in club history to score 30 goals across all competitions in a single season.

In addition, the Red Devils face a Newcastle side that will be missing Alexander Isak. The 6-foot-4 forward from Sweden could be out until after the next international break with a hamstring injury. Isak’s absence is a big one for the Magpies. Regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, Isak is tied for fifth in the league in goals (six) despite playing just six matches this season. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Newcastle

The Magpies are the joint highest-scoring team in the Premier League with 26 goals. That includes 18 goals in their last five league matches. Callum Wilson leads the team and ranks fourth in the league with seven goals despite having started just four games this season.

In addition, Newcastle face a Manchester United side that has struggled recently. The Red Devils have lost five of their first 10 league matches this year, including a listless 3-0 defeat to rival Manchester City on Sunday. The start is Manchester United’s worst since the 1986-87 season. See which team to pick here.
