Manchester United will be back in action after the postponement of their game against Brighton. They will be making the trip to Newcastle United hoping for three points against their struggling hosts. Newcastle United have so far banked 10 points and are 19th in the standings while Manchester United have 27 points in sixth place. The hosts are having a very poor season; after 18 matches, they’ve managed just one win. No team has conceded more goals in the league than Newcastle United so far. They’ve already let in 41 goals and out of the 18 games played, they have 10 losses. Newcastle also have a poor run against Manchester United; in their last four meetings, they’ve suffered straight losses. Their first meeting this season ended 4-1 in favor of United.

Manchester United have all the reasons to be optimistic about this game; in their last seven meetings with Newcastle, they’ve won six and lost just once. United are unbeaten in their last six matches and added to their run against Newcastle, this places them strongly as the favorites. In those six matches they have four wins and three clean sheets, though in the last five matches they’ve scored more than a goal in just one game. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches and they should be well rested going to this game. United have two losses in the last 10 away matches in the league. In their last away league game, they beat Norwich 1-0, and they’ve now scored in 10 straight away league matches ahead of this one.
