Manchester United will be aiming to avoid a fourth straight defeat in all competitions when they welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford on Monday night.
The 20-time English champions will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers, while they were beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth in their last Premier League game in front of their own supporters on December 22.
The Red Devils have dropped down into 14th spot in the Premier League table, 12 points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest, while they are just eight points outside of the relegation positions.
Newcastle, meanwhile, will enter the match off the back of a 3-0 success over Aston Villa, with the Magpies currently on a run of four straight wins in all competitions, which has contributed to them moving up into fifth spot in the division.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two sides ahead of what is a huge game in Manchester.

Man Utd wins: 92
Man United lead the overall head-to-head record between these two teams, posting 92 wins to Newcastle's 46, while there have also been 41 draws in this particular fixture throughout history.
Newcastle have won three of their last four matches against the Red Devils, though, with two of those victories coming during the 2023-24 campaign.
The Magpies beat Erik ten Hag's side 2-0 in the Premier League at St James' Park in April 2023, which proved to be their first league success over the 20-time English champions since October 2019, before winning 3-0 at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup and 1-0 at St James' Park in the league.
Man United have only actually won two of their last seven matches against Newcastle in all competitions, including a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford in their last meeting in May 2024.
The Red Devils have faced Newcastle on 58 occasions in the Premier League and boast an excellent record against them, posting 33 wins, suffering just nine defeats in the process.
Eight of Newcastle's nine Premier League wins over the Red Devils have unsurprisingly come at home, with their highest victory proving to be a 5-0 back in October 1996.
Three of the first four Premier League meetings between the two sides finished 1-1, while two of their last five top-flight encounters have also ended in a share of the spoils.
Man United have lost just one of their last 39 home league game against Newcastle, winning 28 times in the process, with their sole defeat during that run coming in December 2013 under David Moyes.
Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer in this fixture, netting 13 times against Newcastle during his time at Man United, while Ruud van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole and Paul Scholes all managed 11, with Cole's goals coming both for and against Man United.
