Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of this intriguing Premier League clash between Newcastle and Manchester United. Owing to the dreadful form of both sides, even at this early stage of the season this feels like it could be a defining afternoon. The Reds have made their worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1989, without an away win since February, while Steve Bruce's position at the club has become increasingly uncertain after an awful start to his tenure, losing 5-0 to Leicester last time out. We will have full team news to follow, kick-off is 45 minutes away.
