For the first time ever in the Premier League era, only one English top-flight match will be played on Boxing Day, but it is an unmissable one between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford. No side has won more Premier League games on December 26 than Man Utd (22), while the Magpies' 16 losses on the day is the joint-most of any team, but more recent events suggest history is unlikely to bear much weight on Friday's fight.
Sitting three points and four places worse off than Man United in the Premier League table, the Magpies are yet to clamber out of the bottom half and continue to be plagued by inconsistency, as evidenced by six wins, six losses and five draws this term.
Formerly famed for their defensive resilience under Howe, Newcastle have also failed to shut out the opposition in any of their last 10 matches, and the visitors still have just the one Premier League away win to their name this season.
However, only Arsenal (7) and Crystal Palace (9) have shipped fewer goals on the road than Newcastle's 10, and it has been almost exactly a year to the day that Howe masterminded a 2-0 win for the Magpies at Old Trafford, as part of last season's double over the Red Devils.
