Newcastle Utd v Manchester United: Key Stats and Talking Points The Magpies are set to host the Red Devils at St James' Park on Sunday, with both teams looking to bounce back from recent defeats. Here are some key stats and talking points ahead of the match.

The Magpies will be hoping to buck that trend and secure a rare victory over their northern rivals. Newcastle United have struggled on home soil this season, losing four of their six Premier League matches at St James' Park. However, they did manage to secure a 2-0 win over Burnley in their last home game, which could give them confidence ahead of the Manchester United clash. Manchester United have been boosted by the return of midfielder Paul Pogba from injury, and he is likely to play a key role in Sunday's match.
