Newcastle vs Manchester United
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: St James' Park
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT
Manchester United are out to make it 12 points from a possible 12 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when they travel to Newcastle for their first game of 2019.
United have scored 12 goals in three matches since the Norwegian's arrival as caretaker boss with a familiar attacking verve returning to their style of play.
Questions are still being asked defensively, however, something Newcastle will look to exploit in full as they look to bring Solskjaer's honeymoon period to an abrupt end.
