Manchester United: Rasmus Hojlund recently made history by being the youngest player to score in six straight Premier League games, but after returning from a brief injury break, he has only scored once. Hojlund has to go back to his best self in order to help Manchester United finish the season well, with the FA Cup final quickly approaching.
Newcastle United: Sean Longstaff scored in back-to-back Premier League games after his goal against Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend. This season, he has scored 60% of his goals in the league (six out of ten). With the midfielder scoring, Newcastle has never lost a Premier League game.
