Liverpool v Newcastle: Premier League preview

Marcus Rashford ended Manchester United's penalty curse and got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's injury-hit side back to winning ways as Leicester's unbeaten start to the season came to an end.

A number of onlookers made the Foxes favourites for their Old Trafford reunion with Harry Maguire given the way Brendan Rodgers' side have impressed in the early weeks of the campaign.

United have dropped points and that form was compounded injury issues, but the world's most expensive defender helped his new employers keep a rare clean sheet on an afternoon when Rashford's early penalty proved enough to secure a 1-0 win. Re-live the action below:

Match preview:

What time is it?

The match gets underway at 3pm on Saturday.

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on British television, but there will be highlights available to watch on BBC One, on Match of the Day.

Past meetings

In the last 12 meetings between the two teams at Old Trafford, United have won nine and drawn two.

Leicester’s last away win came in 1998.

Man Utd 1 - 0 Leicester

Leicester City can feel aggrieved by that result. They were the better team on the ball but their final balls were very poor and it's cost them today. 

1-0 to Manchester United get a much needed victory and move up into the top four.
