Alex Ferguson has provided his team with a bit of a shake-up, starting Anders Lindegaard in goal in place of David De Gea. De Gea played poorly in Manchester United's loss to Blackburn Rovers, while Lindegaard has been virtually flawless in all of his starts this season. United's back line is a makeshift one once again, while Wayne Rooney appears to be starting in the center of midfield. He is one of four natural strikers in United's team. Newcastle's lineup is light on surprises.
