3 points | Newcastle to win (Draw No Bet)
💭 Newcastle have been blowing a bit hot and cold in recent weeks, beating City and Everton, drawing with Spurs and Chelsea and losing to Sunderland. However, they’re good for goals and won’t be frightened by a trip to this mercurial Untied side. With no Bruno, and Amorim questioning his 4-3-3 formation publicly, The Red Devils would secretly be delighted with a draw.

THE BIG HEARTWARMERS

✍️ Granit Xhaka took to TikTok on Christmas day, commenting under a Mackems’ fans post about losing his father. “We will fight for him every match”. 💛🤍

🏥 A doctor has just revealed a Christmas miracle performed 20 years ago by none other than Roy Keane. A child was gravely ill, on the verge of death and so Roy arrived at the hospital to boost their spirits. Amazingly, on Christmas Eve, the child made a full recovery and was released home.

🎅 Erling Braut Haaland was spotted in full Santa costume handing out presents to three lucky families in Manchester on Christmas Day (pictured above).

“Every player makes a weight. They come back on the 25th and I will be there controlling how many kilos come up, to see if they come fatty […]. Imagine one player and now he’s perfect but he will arrive with three kilos more. He will stay in Manchester. He will not travel to Nottingham Forest.”
