Live stream Newcastle vs Man United: Prime's got one of the best ways to watch Boxing Day soccer

(Image credit: Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 06: Scott McTominay of Manchester United and Allan Saint-Maximin of Newcastle United during the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester United at St. James Park on October 6, 2019 in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.)

Hunting down ways to live stream Newcastle vs Man United might be one of the more surprising ways to spend Boxing Day's early hours. The big story of the match sees Man U legend Steve Bruce leading Newcastle as coach to the field at Old Trafford — where the Magpies haven't won since 2013.

Of course, it's plenty hard to predict how the Newcastle team will fare, as their away record this season is a poor 3-7. Can Man U's trio of offense — Daniel James, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford — even the scores that Newcastle's Andy Carroll puts forth?

Man United has the historical edge — winning 28 of the 49 fixtures between the two, whereas Newcastle's taken only 7 — but this year's team is not inspiring confidence. Not only are they coming off a loss on Sunday against Watford, but betting lines favor Newcastle as well.

The one glimmer of hope? Paul Pogba's return to Man U gave the team a boost, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. We'll have a better grip on what to expect as soon as we start live streaming Newcastle vs Man United, which U.K. audiences can do on Amazon Prime Instant Video.
