Form guide:

are without a win in five matches, with defeats against Wigan, Chelsea and Manchester City flanked by draws with Derby County and Stoke City.

on the other hand, have five wins in their last six matches including last

Saturday's 2-0 FA Cup win at Aston Villa

Ins and outs:

Wayne Rooney

should start his first match since Boxing Day after a match-winning cameo at Villa Park, while strike partner Carlos Tevez could return
after suffering a bruised ankle against Birmingham.

Wes Brown is suspended for United, while Newcastle will be without Peter Ramage through injury.

Also missing for the Magpies are Geremi, Habib Beye, Abdoulaye Faye and possibly Obafemi Martins, at the African Cup of Nations.

Star men:

Michael Owen

is feeling his way back to match fitness, but the former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker remains a potent goal threat at all times.

Newcastle will be apprehensive about facing a fit-again

Wayne Rooney,

who has scored six goals in as many league appearances against the Magpies

BIG-MATCH FACTS

are looking to hold onto the coattails or even overhaul Arsenal at the top,
by gaining an 11th straight home league victory, at the expense of Newcastle.

Held to a goalless draw by Stoke in the FA Cup, managerless Newcastle are in grave danger of tumbling to a fourth successive Premier League defeat,
which would be their worst run since April 2005.

No club has beaten Newcastle more often in the Premier League than Manchester United (16 times).

The Magpies have never won at Old Trafford in the Premier League era, and have not taken away maximum points from the Theatre of Dreams for 36 years.

If they fail again, it will be 25 matches without a maximum - no other club has visited United on more successive occasions without winning.

CLUB FORM:

Club stats
Fixtures

Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 1st

Also, dropped 15 points; only Arsenal have dropped fewer (13).

Four of their six spot kicks have been converted, but Spurs have only scored from three of their six.
