At 4 o'clock in the morning on December 3, Beijing time, the 14th round of the English Premier League will usher in a key match, Manchester United will challenge Newcastle United away. It was a good opportunity for both teams to rush into the European zone, with neither Ten Hag nor Eddie Howe wanting to miss out on the win. However, with both teams riddled with injuries and Manchester United and Newcastle United unable to play at their best, there was a lot of uncertainty in the game. There is no doubt that this game will be a real test for Ten Hag and Eddie Howe.
In midweek's European competition, Newcastle United and Manchester United were both disappointed, the former was drawn by Paris Saint-Germain, and the Red Devils were held to a 3-3 draw by Galatasaray in a good situation, and both teams were at risk of going out. However, the two teams have been doing well in the league, with Manchester United winning three in a row and Newcastle United beating Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. Manchester United and Newcastle United are currently 6th and 7th respectively in the Premier League, with only one point separating them. In this game, both teams have a chance to open up the gap.
Historically, Manchester United have undoubtedly the upper hand, but since 2021, Newcastle United have been the nemesis of the Red Devils. In the last five matches, Manchester United have won just one home win in the EFL Cup, with Newcastle United winning two and drawing two. It is worth noting that against Newcastle United, Manchester United have lost 2 games in a row, with the scores of 0-2 and 0-3. At the same time, these two defeats also set two consecutive shameful records for the Red Devils.
First, United lost 3-0 at home to Newcastle United in two consecutive games, while losing five of their first 10 home games for the first time since 1930-31. Second, Manchester United lost at home to Newcastle United for the first time in 10 years, and it was also the biggest defeat since 1930 (4-7). It is worth mentioning that if Manchester United lose again in this game, then they will lose to Newcastle United for the third time in a row, for the first time since January 1922, and there is no doubt that it will be a century of shame.
With a poor recent run of results and away games, Manchester United are at stake. Newcastle United's home game is too difficult to play, as they have won five consecutive league games at St James' Park, including classic victories over Arsenal and Chelsea. Newcastle United, meanwhile, have scored 18 goals at home in the Premier League this season, which is two more than all of Manchester United's goals. There is no doubt that Ten Hag will have to focus on defence, and attacking against Newcastle United is clearly not a good tactic. Of course, Manchester United's away record is not bad, with the Red Devils also winning four in a row and not conceding a goal in three consecutive games.
Despite the many injuries, Newcastle United remain competitive enough. Anthony Gordon has been involved in six goals in his last seven games (four goals + two assists) and Isak has scored five goals in his last five Premier League games, and the two are in good form. On the other hand, Manchester United, the Red Devils' seven strikers are very strained in the league, only Rashford, Anthony Martial and Garnacho have contributed four goals, and Hojlen's league goal account has not yet been opened.
