Livestream: Newcastle United Vs Manchester United

Newcastle United will face Manchester United at St James’ Park stadium in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, on December 27, 2021 at 20:00 UTC. The match is a Premier League encounter. Manchester United play Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday, marking their return to action after a horrific coronavirus outbreak.

While the Red Devils are dealing with a slew of COVID-19 cases, Eddie Howe’s hosts are looking to avoid a fourth consecutive loss. Newcastle have conceded 11 goals in their last three defeats, making their survival job that much more difficult.

Last time around, Ruben Dias scored after just five minutes for Manchester City, and the champions would go on to beat the Magpies with goals from Joao Cancelo, Raheem Sterling, and Riyad Mahrez as the Magpies fell short once more.

Newcastle United are still 19th in the rankings ahead of the Boxing Day fixtures, after opening the month with a much-needed win over Burnley. They are level on points with Norwich City, who have played one game more.

As Omicron rages around the country, even 17th-placed Watford – who are three points ahead of the Magpies – have two games in hand, but the appointment of Howe has not exactly resulted in the upturn in fortunes that the new owners would have hoped for.

Newcastle’s 41 goals conceded are the poorest defensive record in the 2021-22 Premier League season, and after been breached 79 times in the calendar year, they may establish a new unwelcome record for most Premier League goals conceded in that time.

On the surface, three defeats in their last eight Premier League games at St James’ Park does not appear to be dreadful, but a rejuvenated Man United side will not be complacent on Monday.

Man United, one of several English clubs whose winter preparations have been interrupted by the rise in coronavirus infections, will play for the first time since December 11 when they travel to Tyneside.
