20:00 – Newcastle v Manchester United:

Things have not gone well for Newcastle of late as they have lost five of their last eight Premier League games and they’ve slipped from 3rd in the table to 7th. They face Manchester United in this match, but will they be able to take all three points? Bet365.com do not think so and their Newcastle v Manchester United odds reflect their thoughts on the game.

Newcastle odds – 5.50

Draw odds – 3.60

Manchester United odds – 1.67

Newcastle’s recent form has not been good as they have taken just five points from their last eight Premier League games following an unbeaten start to the season in their previous 11 matches. Their only points in this eight game run have come with an away win at Bolton and a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against today’s opponents as well drawing 0-0 at home to Swansea. They did not deserve to draw against United at Old Trafford and their goal came from a controversial penalty and they should have beaten Swansea, but they were unable to force the ball into the net despite dominating the game. They have not won any of the last three games at home since beating Everton 2-1 at the start of November and have conceded six goals in those three matches, now can they end their poor run by taking all three points against United in this match?

Manchester United slipped up in their last match of 2011 as they were defeated 3-2 at home by a struggling Blackburn Rovers side, but that was their first defeat in ten Premier League matches since they were beaten 6-1 by Manchester City. They have done better on the road in the league this season than at home as they have won seven and drawn two of their nine away games and they have won all of their last five away matches without conceding a single goal. Alex Ferguson will have berated his side after their sloppy play that allowed Blackburn to score three in their last game and they will not want to let themselves in for more of this treatment so they will be out for a win and a good performance in this match. Will they be able to pull this off?

History says yes as Manchester United have not been defeated in any of the last 19 matches they have played against Newcastle in a run that goes back as far as 2001. Of those 19 games they have won 14 and drawn five and they have won seven of their last nine games at St. James’ Park. As a result of these results and their motivation not to lose this match coupled with Newcastle’s recent poor form we are backing an away win in this match.
