What to Know

Newcastle United and Manchester United have had some time off and are no doubt ready to hit the field. They are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday at Old Trafford. Newcastle has some work to do to even out the 2-6 series between these two since November of 2017, but a win here would be a good start.

Two weeks ago, the Magpies and Southampton tied 2-2, good for one point each.

Speaking of close games: Man United won by a goal, slipping past Wolverhampton 1-0. The score was all tied up at the break nothing to nothing, but Man United was the better team in the second half.

After their draw, Newcastle will be looking to earn the full three points in this match.
