Manchester United and Newcastle United will aim to bounce back from painful Champions League outings when they meet at St James' Park on Dec 2 for what is expected to be a thrilling English Premier League clash.
The Red Devils were once again exposed for their inability to see games out, as they allowed a 3-1 lead to slip in a 3-3 draw against Turkish side Galatasaray in midweek.
The Magpies, meanwhile, were denied a win over Paris Saint-Germain, but only because a highly controversial late penalty for a handball rescued the French giants in their 1-1 stalemate.
United are on the brink of elimination from the Champions League, but manager Erik ten Hag believes that his team played well and has called on his players to keep up the positive mindset and performance.
"On Wednesday, we played very good. Also in Copenhagen, even in Bayern Munich we played very good (both 4-3 losses). But we have to do some things better," the 53-year-old Dutchman said.
"Eliminate individual errors, transition (more effectively) but I know we can sort this out and I would be more concerned if we didn't play well."
