Manchester United desperately need points on Wednesday, Jan 6 at 9:00 PM in the Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Manchester United come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Newcastle United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Manchester United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Newcastle United have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Manchester United won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Manchester United a slight edge, but Newcastle United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
