The Newcastle United manager S. Bruce attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Manchester United and their manager O. Solskjær are in 16th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Newcastle United form and stats
Only two Premier League home games for Newcastle United so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
A nice win for Newcastle last time playing, versus Burnley. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Callum Wilson (2) and Allan Saint-Maximin scoring for the victors. Preceding that game was the away draw at Newport County (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) that finished 1-1.
Newcastle United has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Manchester United form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 8 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.
Home advantage was not enough for Manchester in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Tottenham Hotspur, 1-6. Preceding that game was the away Carabao Cup victory against Brighton & Hove Albion with the score of 3-0.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Manchester United manager O. Solskjær as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Paris Saint Germain.
It's early days yet, but Manchester United has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Newcastle won two, Manchester United won six and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
