This will mark the fourth time we’ve faced the Magpies on Boxing Day in the Premier League, and we boast a perfect record in these encounters.
In 2012, Sir Alex Ferguson’s team triumphed in a thrilling 4-3 match, courtesy of a late winner from Javier Hernandez. Two years later, Wayne Rooney scored twice in a 3-1 victory, and in 2019, we secured a 4-1 win with Anthony Martial contributing two goals.
In 2021, the teams clashed at St James’ Park on December 27, resulting in a 1-1 draw, thanks to an equaliser from Edinson Cavani.
