Player to watch
Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Prediction
Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw
Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 + 5 minutes
Romelu Lukaku opts to shoot with four teammates in support as Manchester United again find space on the break.
His effort is lacking in power, and Martin Dubravka brings the ball into his body comfortably on this occasion.
Matching the achievement of Sir Matt Busby, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer begins his stint at Manchester United with four wins from four. A first clean sheet of the Solskjaer tenure, and goals from Romelu Lukaku (moments after coming off the bench) and Marcus Rashford giving the visitors a 2-0 win.
Newcastle had their chances. Christian Atsu had about five sighters at goal on his left foot, but not a single one seriously troubled David De Gea, and Rafa Benitez's side lack of quality in the final third showed.
Newcastle stay 15th, level on points with Burnley and Cardiff below them, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
