NEWCASTLE will be hoping for a rapid improvement in form following their 5-0 clobbering away at Leicester.
Steve Bruce's men are currently one place off the foot of the table, having won only one of their first seven games.
They'll be taking on a Man Utd side looking for their first away victory in the Premier League this season.
