There is 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 with Ladbrokes 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.
