United opened up a three-point lead over their title rivals with a comfortable victory over relegation-battling Brighton.

Brighton win it back but Robinson’s can’t get on the end of it and United have it back. United get in a great position once more, Russo crosses in but Boe Risa can’t control it. 45 + 1 min: Brighton come again and Sarri tries to cross it in but Batlle challenges her well and it goes out for a goal kick. Galton then does well to prevent a Brighton counter, the hosts aren’t out of this clash yet! Brighton have had some chances but they are yet to convert them. They manage to get it into the box but United clear. United think they have their third but Toone is offside as she hit it in. Brighton counter and Sarri is in the box, her resulting chance is out for a corner. United come again and Russo is in a great position, she strikes it powerfully and the keeper blocks. United have a corner and Zelem sends it in. And here United come again, luckily for the hosts Garcia is offside. Brighton fought hard but eventually the defensive dam burst.

The player, who has been at the club since 2018, got United off on the right foot after just 12 minutes and the visitors dominated throughout the match ...

We've come here to a difficult pitch and we've come away winners because o our energy and attitude. It helps she's left footed but it's what she brings overall.' On Galton's high quality performance, he added: 'Everyone knows how I feel about Leah [Galton]. Today's another good learning experience playing on this pitch with this crowd. That's the sign of a team that wants to fight for each other and wants to win things.

Newcastle can take a huge step towards Champions League football when they welcome top-four rivals Manchester United to St James Park.

Eddie Howe's men went into the international break having won back-to-back games against Nottingham Forest and Wolves. The Magpies have won 10 of their last 13 games at St James' Park, with Liverpool being the only side to manage a win in the North East. Casemiro, on the other hand, misses out through suspension.

Man United travel to St. James' Park to face Newcastle United in a Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.

[Marcus Rashford](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) will be able to play against the Magpies after withdrawing from England's squad through injury after picking up a knock in the victory over Fulham. "I’m going to go for a Newcastle win actually. They could end up in fifth place in the Premier League table by the end of the weekend. "Manchester United aren't playing well at the moment and they're very reliant on Marcus Rashford and his goals. I'm going to go with Newcastle to win this game." [United](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) drew 0-0 with Saints on March 12, with Casemiro being sent off in the goalless draw. I’m not sure whether Marcus Rashford’s back from this shopping trip or not, though." Newcastle are playing at home and a draw isn't good enough for them. If Newcastle win this game, Man United will need to work hard to get into the top four. "I like the way the Magpies play and, although they have not always turned that into goals, they've had more of a cutting edge since Alexander Isak returned to full fitness. [Erik ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag)'s side progressed to the FA Cup semi-finals with a victory over Fulham in their last game before the break, having also secured their spot in the Europa League quarter-finals after overcoming Real Betis.

But Solano does not feel it will have any impact on proceedings in the Premier League. Man United obliged and won the cup that day. If Newcastle had Bruno Guimaraes missing they would feel that. "Man United though it is just another player and he will be replaced because they have strength in depth. "If they win it's another big three points. Solano told Chronicle Live: "I would say Man United - because of their history - are under more pressure than Newcastle. But Newcastle can be more relaxed than Man United. He had success at Real Madrid. "Newcastle came into this game on the back of two good results and they needed it to stay in the chase.

After adding our second, we seemed to assume total control of the game and hit our stride going forward. Both Toone and Blundell exchanged neat one-two passes before the former sent a defence-splitting pass into the path of Galton. Emma Kullberg had arguably their best chance of the first 45, but her header had a bit too much on it and flew over. Poppy Pattinson’s lofted ball into the area was very nearly headed home by Lee Geum-min, but Millie Turner did enough at the back to put her off. Zelem’s searching corner into the box was pinpoint, planted right onto the head of our left winger, who guided the ball beyond an outstretched Williams in the Brighton goal. Patient work from Russo down the left saw her fizz a teasing ball into the box, but our no.11 saw her effort blocked.

Ten Hag's side beat the Magpies in the Carabao Cup final in February.

That is really a team that’s hard to beat, but we are looking forward to the challenge. “They want to have tempo in the game. It’s about talks – informal and formal. “But I see him as a midfielder and I think I’m happy with what Wout is doing because when Wout is in the team the team is performing better.” “It’s about coaches working with him and especially it’s a lot about himself because he’s the one and he has the skills, so when he is in the best attitude, he’s in the best mentality, then he will score goals.” “But we play against a good opponent.

Manchester United ace Casemiro and Man City star Rodri have both impressed for their respective clubs this term.

He’s a personality as well, he’s not on social media, I think that goes a long way – he’s low maintenance, but so impactful on the pitch." He said: "I would [take Rodri over Casemiro]. [Ferdinand](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/rio-ferdinand) - speaking on BT Sport -said: "I would take Casemiro, because I think the impact he has had is huge. The 26-year-old midfielder has made 41 appearances this season, registering two goals and six assists. But Rodri is a fantastic footballer." However, the question of who has impressed more has divided former players, supporters and pundits.

A toe injury picked up in the FA Cup win over Fulham ruled Rashford out of England's Euro 2024 qualifiers before he returned to training as the game approached.

Casemiro is banned for the trip meaning Scott McTominay will hope to start alongside Fred in midfield, off the back of a fine time away with Scotland.

When it comes to who has to finish in the top four, Man United have the pressure. Man United obliged and won the cup that day. "Newcastle came into this game on the back of two good results and they needed it to stay in the chase. [United](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) will be confident about achieving a top-four finish this campaign, and a victory over the Magpies would go a long way in their quest to secure Champions League football for next season.

"Because the whole season we improved and we are fit, we have the right spirit, and now we have to work on our game. My job is to lead and to manage the first team and to let them perform and to get the right results, and that is where I have to focus." So the players have the right attitude already. We need that in the final stage of the game because we play only finals. And so right now in preparation, I only think about that game from Newcastle and that's the only thing what's in my head.
