Now, suddenly, this Boxing Day match becomes a battle between the Premier League’s 8th- and 9th-place teams, with a chance for the winner to vault to as high as fifth place.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle: Preview, recent form, odds, upcoming fixtures
Manchester United (recent form: DWWDL) is going to want to forget its most recent outing. In losing to Watford, United dominated possession and got off 17 shots (eight on target), but couldn’t find the back of the net. For manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the hot seat talk is back, though recent reports have the United brass backing what’s being termed as a rebuild. But the Red Devils have fewer points than they accumulated at this point last season.
Newcastle (recent form: DWWLW) is continuing its unlikely ascent under manager Steve Bruce. Consider that it was in the relegation zone as recently as October, though that’s also a month in which the squad handled United at home. Almiron is rounding into form for the Magpies at just the right time; though they may not qualify for any of the European places, the fact that this is the conversation heading into the New Year makes for an outstanding turnaround already.
Odds
The oddsmakers at William Hill think Manchester United is the favorite here with -300 odds (wager $300 to win $100). Newcastle is pegged as a +850 underdog, with a draw at +410.
Upcoming Fixtures
Manchester United, Saturday, Dec. 28 at Burnley (Premier League); Wednesday, Jan. 1 at Arsenal (Premier League)
Newcastle, Saturday, Dec. 28 vs. Everton (Premier League); Wednesday, Jan. 1 vs. Leicester City (Premier League)
