"Newcastle United have lost their last three Premier League games at St James' Park. The one before that required them to score two goals in stoppage time to turn defeat into victory. So things haven't exactly been going smoothly for Eddie Howe's side recently. But my goodness they've been good value."
"Manchester United aren't quite as scattergun. They've won six out of seven games under caretaker Michael Carrick, for a start, and you'd have to be a curmudgeon-and-a-half to take issue with that. But Carrick's side were excellent against Manchester City and Arsenal, decent enough against Fulham and Spurs, but a tad stodgy against West Ham, Everton and Crystal Palace."
"Newcastle have won the last three stagings of this fixture to the cumulative total of 7-1; that Benjamin Sesko is the hot player in the division right now; and that Newcastle and Manchester United is simply one of the great Premier League rivalries and this could be really good."
Newcastle United has experienced inconsistent results recently, losing their last three Premier League matches at St James' Park, though they have provided entertaining football with high-scoring games. Manchester United, under caretaker Michael Carrick, has performed well with six wins in seven games, though showing mixed quality against various opponents. Newcastle has won the last three encounters against Manchester United with a combined score of 7-1. Both teams have significant motivations: Newcastle seeks European football qualification while Manchester United aims to return to Champions League football. The fixture represents one of the Premier League's great rivalries, with the match scheduled for 8:15pm GMT.
