Manchester United return to club footballing action with a game against Newcastle United in a bid to secure their place in the top four in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle United have been the surprise package in Premier League this season but their form has taken a hit in 2023. The Magpies had won just one of their eight games but have bounced back with two wins in two in their last two games. Newcastle are currently fifth in the table with 47 points from 26 games, just two behind Spurs with two games in hand. Their record against the Red Devils isn't great with no wins in their previous six leagues games against them.
Manchester United have been impressive under Erik ten Hag and find themselves third in the Premier League table with 50 points from 26 games. They will be hoping to continue their strong run against Newcastle United, having won more Premier League away games against the Magpies than any other side. They will be hoping to put behind their scoring woes from the last two games
