Also worthy of note is the presence of local lad, Kobby Mainoo on the bench – he looks a ridiculous talent, an all-round midfielder with beautiful balance, skill and weight of pass. Meanwhile, we should see a belter at the aforementioned – its first league fixture in six weeks. I really like what I’ve seen of him, and I’d love to see him get on the pitch for a proper stretch today. I didn’t expect the former to play today, but he did well after coming off the bench in midweek and perhaps his possession-heavy style is thought more suitable for the way Ten Hag wants his team to play in this game. Only drawback is there would probably only be six or seven of him left on the pitch by the end of the game.” “He wore every shirt from 1 to 12, in the days they meant something in terms of position, except for 11.” I think they’re all decent players, and Ben White in particular is doing a terrific job at right-back given he isn’t really one. He goes off and his mates clear the corner, but I think he’ll be fine. Villa are playing well and Bailey diddles Chilwell then crosses well from the right and Ings makes a decent flying connection, only for the keeper to tip away! The players are now being taken off with fans told there’s a “powercut”. Of course, we all want to see the game go ahead and Leeds to win (Spurs fan here) but it would asking for trouble, as well as legal minefield should the result affect the relegation battle at the end of the season.” At least that’s what I think the commentators mean by the need for a ‘level playing field’ which I would’ve assumed otherwise would be rather a given.”

Manchester United responded to a thrashing by Manchester City by winning three games in a row in all competitions. Can Newcastle United halt that run?

— There was a major blow on Saturday when it emerged that Allan Saint-Maximin has suffered a setback after returning to action against Brentford and will also miss the game in Manchester. Cristiano Ronaldo starts in place of Anthony Martial, while Marcus Rashford drops to the bench and Christian Eriksen is out of the squad altogether. 100 mins to KO: This match last season saw the goalscoring homecoming of Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted twice in a 4-1 win for the Red Devils. Newcastle start with Joe Willock on the bench, as he has reportedly been unwell in the past few days. Still, having marked his substitute appearance against Everton with his 700th club goal, you wouldn't bet against Ronaldo making an impact against Newcastle — a team for which, according to some reports, he could become a transfer target... That incident came in between Diogo Dalot twice giving the ball away — it's not been a great start for the Man United right-back. Sancho drives into the box, Fernandes nudges the loose ball back to the edge of the box, but Fred slices his first-time shot wide. 15 mins: It's been a decent spell for Newcastle, but the home side do look dangerous when they break through that high press. 36 mins: Another stoppage as Joelinton is treated following another spell of players battling to keep the ball. Some good play from Fernandes as he controls a long ball from Murphy and then releases Sancho down the left. They were 4-1 winners in this fixture last season, when Cristiano Ronaldo marked his Old Trafford homecoming with a double, but that was against a very different Newcastle side.

MAN 0 - 0 NEW Man Utd 0 - 0 Newcastle

I'd be gobsmacked if Newcastle are champions in under five years. For one thing, they were well behind Chelsea and even City were under new ownership.

A few like Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and maybe Alexander Isak could be around for the long-term but it would still need a massive overhaul. I'm afraid for Newcastle fans they'll have to be more patient than that, even though [Eddie Howe](/sport/eddie-howe/index.html) has done an outstanding job and exceeded expectations so far, going to Old Trafford on Sunday looking to break into the top six. When the Saudi takeover happened, they were fighting relegation.
