BIG-MATCH FACTS


Manchester United may find themselves eight points behind leaders Arsenal by the time this tea-time kick-off gets underway.



Kevin Keegan

would just "love it", if he could gain his first win in six league and cup games of his current spell in charge, "against them".

United lost their last league game, home to Manchester rivals City, but have not experienced successive defeats in 107 Premier League outings,
when beaten away to Norwich and Everton on 9 and 20 April 2005 respectively.

The Magpies are without a win in nine, and are experiencing their worst ever season in the Premier League.
But they have never been relegated from this league.

United ran riot against a hapless Newcastle in the reverse fixture in January with six unanswered second half goals, which included


Cristiano Ronaldo's first hat-trick for the Red Devils
