Manchester United and Newcastle United lock horns at Old Trafford on December 26.
Unusually, this is the sole game taking place on Boxing Day this year, with the rest of England's top-flight teams in action over the weekend. That should mean there is plenty of attention on a potentially engrossing contest between two inconsistent sides.
Man United lost 2-1 at Aston Villa last time out, and although there were encouraging elements to their performance amid a host of absences, the result means they have only won twice in eight league matches.
However, they head into this contest three points ahead of the Magpies in the standings. Eddie Howe's side have also found consistency hard to come by: they have one win from four league matches, and they surrendered a 2-0 lead at home to Chelsea prior to Christmas.
