It’s Manchester United next for Newcastle United.
The Premier League kicks off on Wednesday evening at 8.15 pm.
Eddie Howe and Newcastle United want to recover from Saturday’s home defeat against Everton.
United are currently adrift in mid-table and need a boost to try and climb back up the table.
Eddie Howe doesn’t have a too bad record at Newcastle United when it comes to facing Manchester United. In the last seven home and away games (all competitions) between the two clubs, United have recorded five wins and Man U have only two wins.
Watching purely Premier League matches at St James’ Park, history could be made on Wednesday evening.
A home win would make it four straight wins against Man U, the first time this has happened in almost a century.
Newcastle United 2 Manchester United 0 (2 April 2023)
Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 0 (December 2, 2023)
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 1 (April 13, 2025)
Newcastle United? Manchester United? (March 4, 2026)
It has been 55 years since Newcastle United last came close to four home wins in a row against Man U:
Newcastle United 2 Manchester United 0 (12 April 1969)
Newcastle United 5 Manchester United 1 (4 April 1970)
Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 0 (31 October 1970)
Newcastle United 0 Manchester United 1 (13 October 1971)
While it has been more than 95 years since Newcastle United last achieved four consecutive home league victories against Man U:
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 1 (21 January 1928)
Newcastle United 5 Manchester United 0 (February 5, 1929)
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 1 (31 August 1929)
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 3 (17 January 1931)
This is where it gets even more bizarre and even more brilliant.
Going back further, these were Newcastle United’s six home games against Manchester United in the top level (Division One) that immediately preceded that quartet of wins:
Newcastle United 2 Manchester United 0 (3 April 1915)
Newcastle United 2 Manchester United 1 (27 December 1919)
Newcastle United 6 Manchester United 3 (1 January 1921)
Newcastle United 3 Manchester United 0 (December 31, 1921)
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 1 (14 April 1926)
Newcastle United 4 Manchester United 2 (11 September 1926)
So an incredible 10 (TEN) home league wins in a row for Newcastle United, from April 1915 to January 1931.
After winning 1-0 on Tyneside on 25 October 1913, Manchester United had to wait until 30 October 1934, over 21 years (!!!) before they could then avoid defeat at St James’ Park in Division One, with Man U winning 1-0 that day.
