Newcastle United's bid to upset the Premier League apple cart may come to fruition sooner than anticipated as the Magpies continue their fine start to the season. Eddie Howe's side are now becoming a really tough team to beat both at home and on the road after adding another point to their tally with a spirited 0-0 draw against Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag's side put up a good fight at Old Trafford, almost snatching all three points for themselves with a late onslaught Newcastle did well to weather. The Tyneside outfit remain sixth in the Premier League, one place behind Sunday's opponents, with a busy schedule ahead of them before the World Cup break next month.
With only one defeat to their name in the league, Newcastle are now also the only Premier League side to have conceded less than 10 goals this season, with only nine scored against them thus far. Each of the clubs currently occupying the top four have conceded 10, while Brighton have shipped 11, Liverpool 12 and Manchester United 15.
