📅26 December 2014, 11:00

This Friday, 26th December, Manchester United will be host to Newcastle United at Old Trafford for their next Premier League match.

Since 2011 the teams have played a total of five times. Most recently Manchester United beat Newcastle 4 – 0 in April this year. Prior to that Newcastle beat Manchester United 1 – 0 in December 2013 but that was the only one of the five matches that Newcastle has won.

It seems that Newcastle is unlikely to repeat their success of last December as the odds on Manchester United winning are 4/11 while a Newcastle victory has been set at 8/1 and a draw at 4/1. Furthermore there are odds of 6/1 that Manchester United will win 2 – 0.

At present Manchester United is third in the Premier League with 32 points having won 9 games, drawn 5 and lost 3. They are seven points below Manchester City and one point above West Ham.

Newcastle United is ninth in the Premier League with 23 points having won 6 games, drawn 5 and lost 6. They are one point above Liverpool and two points below Swansea City.
