Newcastle United and Manchester United are more or less in the same boat of recent results ahead of their Premier League encounter against each other at St James' Park on Saturday.
If the Magpies had to settle for a 1-1 draw against PSG in their midweek Champions League outing, the Red Devils were forced to split points in Europe's top flight following a 3-3 draw with Galatasaray.
United are just a point clear of Newcastle in the domestic league, as Eddie Howe's men defeated Chelsea 4-1, while Erik ten Hag's side picked up a 3-0 win over Everton.
