A repeat of their 3-0 victory over the Magpies on the opening weekend of the season would certainly help to heal a wounded United.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle return to action for the first time since their 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa, a result that leaves them just six points clear of the relegation zone. Alan Pardew believes his side need just one more win from their remaining six games to assure themselves of a second season in the Premier League &#8211; a first home victory over Manchester United since 2001 would be a satisfying way to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MATCH FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Man Utd have won 13 of their last 16 encounters with Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Manchester club are unbeaten at St James&#8217; Park since September 2001, when they lost 4-3.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Newcastle marked their return to the Premier League with a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford back in August.
