PDC World Darts Championship 2026 predictions and preview
Boxing Day is unusually quiet in the Premier League this year. Manchester United vs Newcastle United is the only game on 26 December, so Old Trafford gets the full spotlight.
Manchester United when they need a win to be in top 4
— Janty (@CFC_Janty) December 21, 2025
Manchester United are 7th on 26 points, and they've been a proper rollercoaster lately. They smashed Wolves 4-1, then played out a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth, before slipping to a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Back on home turf, they'll fancy their chances of setting the tone early.
Newcastle sit 11th with 23 points, and their recent results tell a similar story. They beat Fulham 2-1 in the EFL Cup, lost 1-0 at Sunderland, and then they drew 2-2 with Chelsea. Newcastle were in front in that game but let it slip in the second half, failing to see it out. That's been the issue: they can start well, but they don't always finish the job.
The Red Devils have looked a bit more reliable lately, and playing at Old Trafford gives them an extra edge in a game that should have chances at both ends. Newcastle are dangerous, but the way they faded against Chelsea is a red flag. We're backing Manchester United to win at 2.40
