Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce: "We have had a horrible 20 minutes before half-time and just after half-time where we have made too many mistakes. When you come here the one thing you can't do is gift Manchester United. I know it's Christmas but we gave away more goals in half an hour than we have in three months. It's a harsh lesson for us that you cannot make the mistakes we have just made.

"They have quality at the top end of the pitch but I thought for half an hour we were good. We gifted them a goal to start with. All of a sudden the game is away from you. If you chase it they will rip you to bits. We stuck at it but it was a tough afternoon for us."

Man Utd defender Harry Maguire told Amazon: "We were in control of the game but they hit us on the counter attack. We gave a sloppy goal away and we were too wide as a back four.

"We will learn form it but we showed great mentality to come back after a poor result last time. We scored four great goals. We know we can score goals. We have to make sure our mentality is right and we are young squad but we have been too inconsistent this season.

"Against Watford we were not good enough for our standard but the boys showed a great intensity today and we thoroughly deserved the three points. We have now got a big game in two days and our story so far has been a good performance and then a not so good one."

What a few days it has been for Liverpool. The newly-crowned club world champions also strengthened their grip on the title race without even playing last weekend following Leicester's defeat to Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp's side also have a game in hand to go with their double-digit lead at the top of the table. Nonetheless, they could hardly have a tougher game to come back to than this one.

Second-placed Leicester are unbeaten at home all season and it took a last-minute penalty from James Milner for Liverpool to beat them 2-1 at Anfield in October.

Leicester v Liverpool, it does not get any bigger than that today.

A big game player will guide you through it, here's Gary Rose.

• Manchester United have won more games (21) and have a higher win percentage (81%) on Boxing Day in the Premier League than any other side.
• Newcastle United have lost more Premier League Boxing Day games than any other side (14).
• Manchester United attacker Mason Greenwood has netted eight goals in all competitions this season - the only teenager with more in Europe's big five leagues is Jadon Sancho (12).
• Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood is just the fourth Manchester United teenager to score in consecutive home matches for the Red Devils in the Premier League, after Ryan Giggs (1993), Wayne Rooney (2005) and Federico Macheda (2010).

It looks like Manchester United's wait to score five in a game at Old Trafford will go on.

They last did it here in the Premier League on Boxing Day 2011 against Wigan.

Juan Mata tries to wriggle free in the box but is closed down by two Newcastle defenders.

Three minutes added on.

Fred has been excellent again for Manchester United, he has shown signs of improvement.

But the Brazilian needs to work on his shooting, skying an effort into the Stretford End.

A final change for the away side.

Fabian Schar replaced by Emil Krafth.

A reminder that there is still one more game to come tonight between the Premier League's top two.

So don't go anywhere.

Well dealt with.

Luke Shaw's deflected cross loops high into the Manchester sky and drops right underneath the crossbar of Martin Dubravka, but the Newcastle goalkeeper keeps his eyes on it to cleanly gather.

David de Gea has been a spectator for almost the entirety of this half.

The referee pulls back an earlier incident when DeAndre Yedlin went in late on Harry Maguire and issues the Newcastle man a Boxing Day card, yellow in colour.

Nearly number five.

Juan Mata picks out Paul Pogba's run into the box but the Frenchman cannot get any contact on the ball with his long legs as it skips through to Martin Dubravka.

Oh hello Harry Maguire.

The big centre-half lumbers forward and curls a 30-yard shot towards the top corner, but Martin Dubravka springs to his right to push the ball to safety.

Manchester United playing keep-ball now, this one is in the bag.

Newcastle have no interest in engaging.
