Manchester United will be aiming to make it four Premier League wins in a row when they head to St James' Park on Saturday evening to take on Newcastle United.
The 20-time English champions are currently sixth in the table, boasting 24 points from their opening 13 matches of the season, while Newcastle are seventh on 23 points.
Both sides will enter the match off the back of Champions League draws, with Newcastle playing out a 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, before Man United drew 3-3 with Galatasaray on Wednesday, and the two English teams now face difficult tasks to reach the round of 16.
Man United are the form team in the Premier League, though, winning five of their last six matches, while Newcastle recorded a 4-1 victory over Chelsea at home last weekend.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 132
Newcastle wins: 23
Draws: 38
Man Utd wins: 71
Man United lead the overall head-to-head record between these two teams, posting 71 wins to Newcastle's 23, while there have also been 38 draws in this particular fixture throughout history.
Newcastle have won their last two matches against the Red Devils, though, including a 3-0 success in the fourth round of the EFL Cup at Old Trafford at the start of November.
The Magpies also beat Erik ten Hag's side 2-0 in the Premier League at St James' Park in April, which proved to be their first league success over the 20-time English champions since October 2019.
Man United have only actually won one of their last five matches against Newcastle in all competitions, which proved to be the 2-0 success in the EFL Cup final last season.
The Red Devils last beat the Magpies in the Premier League in September 2021, recording a 4-1 win, while they also won 4-1 at St James' Park during the 2020-21 campaign.
Man United have faced Newcastle on 56 occasions in the Premier League and boast an excellent record against them, posting 32 wins, suffering just eight defeats in the process.
Seven of Newcastle's eight Premier League wins over the Red Devils have unsurprisingly come at home, with their highest victory proving to be a 5-0 back in October 1996.
Three of the first four Premier League meetings between the two sides finished 1-1, while two of their last three top-flight encounters have also ended in a share of the spoils.
Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer in this fixture, netting 13 times against Newcastle during his time at Man United, while Ruud van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole and Paul Scholes all managed 11, with Cole's goals coming both for and against Man United.
