Manchester United host Newcastle at Old Trafford today and they go into the clash with the best recent Boxing Day record of all their rivals.

The Reds have won 15 of their last 18 matches on December 26th with only one defeat in that time.

United have not conceded a goal on Stephen's Day since 2008 and the last time they failed to win was at their former bogey team Middlesboro with Ryan Giggs getting a goal in a 3 - 1 defeat at the Riverside.

Man United host Newcastle today and will hope to preserve their recent Stephen's Day clean sheet trend, despite a poor defensive record this season
