14 games without a league clean sheet for Manchester United.

Not great.

It is the dream start for Newcastle. Now how will Manchester United respond?

Newcastle should lead!

The two strikers combine as Joelinton slips a pass through to Dwight Gayle inside the box but he can only lash his left-footed shot over with only David de Gea to beat.

Alan Shearer's name always gets a good airing at meetings between these two sides.

Newcastle fans always remind their Mancunian counterparts that Shearer rejected the chance to move to Old Trafford - twice, I think.

Manchester United's fans respond by pointing out they got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for far less money around the same time.

Shearer is here tonight working for TV. Solskjaer is here as well.

Then Newcastle break away, they have a three on three at one point and the ball drops to Miguel Almiron on the angle of the box, but the Paraguayan screws over.

Poor, after breaking his goalscoring duck last week.

From the resulting corner, Harry Maguire nods over the crossbar via Jetro Willems.

The Manchester United skipper missed an absolute sitter in the reverse fixture.

Marcus Rashford steps up for the free-kick, 25 yards out and laces it towards goal ala Cristiano Ronaldo, but it deflects off the wall and away from goal.

"Five Cantonas," sing the Stretford End.

The home side have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Scott McTominay might still be feeling the after-affects of that earlier challenge.

A cross from the Scot sails straight out of play.

Manchester United look to be moving the ball a little more quickly than usual.

Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood are looking to link-up in the final third.

Another start in the remarkable career of 18-year-old Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.

So far, Greenwood has made 26 appearances and scored seven goals.

It is worth noting at the same age, just short of three months after his 18th birthday, Marcus Rashford had not even made his debut.

Scott McTominay's yellow was the fastest booking in the Premier League this season.

He is moving a bit more freely now.

Scott McTominay has come off worse after those challenges, he is limping heavily and Paul Pogba is being sent out to warm up.

That yellow card has not knocked Scott McTominay's confidence.

The Scottish midfielder goes in hard twice on both Longstaff brothers, he needed to get them right otherwise it would have been a second yellow inside the first three minutes.

Manchester United's problem this season is opening up teams who sit back against them.

Steve Bruce will have taken note of that.

A lively start.

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay booked after just 40 seconds for a late, studs-high challenge on Sean Longstaff.

Ninth v 10th.

This Boxing Day mid-table battle is under way.

Southampton

Southampton goalscorer Nathan Redmond speaking to Match of the Day: "It was a great team effort and we stuck to the game plan. It's always good to win on the road. I think it’s that cliche of sticking together. We know they have good players but so do we and it came down to hard work.

"We know it is going to be tough but we stuck together. When you are in the moment of the game, you are so focused of keeping the ball. It was a great team goal and sums up what we have been working on. All teams go through spells and it’s important to stick to game plans, especially away from home. We took the momentum from last week and added to it."

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard speaking to Match of the Day: "Teams are making it difficult here. We are not making enough chances, we were at the beginning of the season. We are being asked a different question at home. At the moment we are not answering them. We do not manage to pick up that final pass.

"Against Tottenham we had space to make runs and today we had none. It changes things. We did not do it right today. I think If at the start of the season we would have been happy where we are. We are good away but we have to make it difficult to come here."
