Huddersfield Town's 4-1 home victory over Bournemouth earlier in the day meant Newcastle started their home clash against United in the Premier League's bottom three. Fifth-placed Chelsea can move to within three points of United with victory at West Brom on Monday. There was a warm handshake between Benitez and Mourinho when the final whistle sounded at a tumultuous St James' Park to confirm Newcastle's first home league win since October. But their previous history has been marked by frostiness -- a result of former Liverpool manager Benitez twice getting the better of Mourinho's Chelsea in Champions League semi-finals. United have 56 points, Liverpool 54 and Tottenham 52 with Chelsea on 50.
