Manchester United entertain Newcastle in an intriguing Premier League clash this afternoon.

Where the two clubs battled it out for the title in the 1990s, they are now vying for a place in the top four (as things stand), with the away side looking to catch the Manchester giants and push onto the kind of level they have not competed at since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Still, Erik ten Hag’s team have beaten both Liverpool and Arsenal on home soil this season and did look to be making great strides prior to their heavy derby loss at Manchester City.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are flying after a frustrating start to the season and will show little fear heading to Old Trafford, for the first time in years.
