Manchester United had 10 shots and three shots on goal and 56 percent of the possession.

Newcastle lost their first two games of the season before playing to a draw against Southampton. The big issue for Newcastle this season has been with their defense. They have given up eight goals total, and if they want a chance to win this game, the defense is going to need to be better. In the last game against Southampton, they scored a goal in the 91st minute and it looked like they would win but then the defense gave up a goal in the 96th minute.
