The Champions are looking to make up vital ground on their title challengers in this lunchtime kick-off with a much-needed win, after a run of three games without victory in the league. Home advantage sees them as the bookies favourites, with Ladbrokes offering best odds on a Man Utd win at 1/2, while Newcastle are best-priced at 13/2 with Coral. You can back a draw at 15/4 with Bet Victor.

Alan Pardew's Newcastle United are visitors for the day and head to Old Trafford after a mightily impressive November, in which they managed a 100% record with a 4-game winning streak – which included key victories at home to Chelsea and away to Spurs. They were brought crashing back to Earth with a 3-0 loss at Swansea in midweek though and will now be hoping for an immediate response in Manchester.

And the Toon have reason to feel confident that they can prosper at the home of the champions after seeing Moyes' men succumb to a shock loss themselves in midweek – 0-1 at home to his old charges Everton; the first time in 21 years that United have lost to Everton at the 'Theatre of Dreams'. That November run for the Magpies has helped elevate them to seventh in the table and means they will arrive in Manchester one point and two places ahead of the champions, who sit a lowly ninth in the table.

Newcastle's French forward Loic Remy, on loan from QPR for the season, has shown good form so far this campaign, with 8 goals in the league. He's a tasty bet for an anytime goalscorer on Saturday, best-priced at 15/4 with Bet365.

Newcastle's Loic Remy will be looking to get on the scoresheet at Old Trafford and win our bet!

United's lack of a win in the league since beating Arsenal in early November means they are now 12 points off the North Londoners at the top. In this key month of December, where the games come thick and fast, David Moyes will be more than aware that his side cannot afford to slip further behind the frontrunners if they are to genuinely maintain a defence of their title this season. And with the standings closer than ever between a number of teams all competing for those top four spots, you'd feel United need a near flawless month to ensure they're well positioned entering the New Year; starting with a win on Saturday.

Dutch star Robin Van Persie has been missing for Man Utd with a groin injury the past couple of games, but if he's fit to make a return on Saturday he'd be a tempting prospect for first goalscorer at 15/4 with bet365.
