Manchester United News and Form – Can Man Utd beat Newcastle?

Manchester United had a poor afternoon away at bottom side Watford on Sunday. They suffered a 2-0 loss, which snapped a six-match undefeated streak of league form that they had been on (W3 D3). So that was something of a rude awakening. Back at Old Trafford, they have earned a W4 D4 L1 record and they are undefeated in their last six on home soil. The Red Devils have averaged 1.8 goals per home game this season, but they have been struggling defensively lately. United have averaged 1 goal per game against them at Old Trafford.

But they are without a clean sheet in six league home games. Home and away combined there hasn’t been one from them in any of their last thirteen now. Manchester United have hit the back of the net in all nine league home games this season. They are very hit and miss. One minute they are pulling off an away win over their rivals Manchester City, the next they are crashing tamely at the bottom side. Manchester United have been leading at half time in just one of their last six league games. They have opened the scoring in 6 of 9 at Old Trafford.

Newcastle News and Form – Can Newcastle win at Manchester United?

The Magpies earned a 1-0 home success over Crystal Palace on the weekend. That was their third win in their last four games (L1). Out on their top-flight travels this season Newcastle have taken a W3 L6 record from their nine games. They have lost two of their last three away from St James’ Park (W1). The two defeats that Newcastle suffered in that sequence, they failed to hit the back of the net in. There has been a notable lack of goal scoring from Newcastle on the road this season.

They have produced just 8 in their 9 away games. While they have been very tight defensively on home soil, Steve Bruce’s men have conceded at an average of 1.9 goals per away game. Newcastle have alternated between a loss and a win in each of their last five road fixtures, so a win would be next if it continues. Six of the seven wins that Newcastle have recorded this season have been by a one-goal margin. Four of their seven losses have been by a margin of at least two goals. Only Crystal Palace and Watford have scored fewer league goals than Newcastle this season.
