Analyzing match history

I should compute the specific matches for Manchester United's losses to Newcastle on April 2, 2023, and December 2, 2023. That's two consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Historically, it seems the last time United had three consecutive league defeats was in 1922 against Newcastle. I want to verify this detail before responding. I'll note it refers to league matches and include the scores of the last five encounters, ensuring it's accurate.Reconstructing recent match history

I want to lay out the recent Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Newcastle:

1. May 15, 2024: Man U 3-2 Newcastle
2. December 2, 2023: Newcastle 1-0 Man U
3. April 2, 2023: Newcastle 2-0 Man U
4. October 16, 2022: Man U 0-0 Newcastle
5. December 27, 2021: Newcastle 1-1 Man U
6. September 11, 2021: Man U 4-1 Newcastle
7. February 21, 2021: Man U 3-1 Newcastle
8. October 17, 2020: Newcastle 1-4 Man U

So, there were indeed two consecutive defeats recently! But, I also remember something about Newcastle beating Man U in back-to-back league games for the first time since 1972. Did they complete a league double over them this season?Clarifying match stats

Okay, I see that Newcastle beat Manchester United 1-0 at home in December 2023 and then lost 3-2 away in May 2024, so they didn’t achieve a double. In the 2022/23 season, they also didn’t double due to a draw at Old Trafford. The “two straight league losses” refers to recent head-to-head matches, which might be the first time since 1972.

The user mentioned three consecutive defeats dating back to 1922. I need to clarify: are they looking for verification on this data, including specific matches and dates, or would they prefer a visual representation? I should suggest a minimum check and mention that it’s not currently a three-match losing streak since Manchester United won in May 2024.Crafting a response

I want to clarify that you are referring to Manchester United’s recent matches against Newcastle in the English top flight, where they did indeed have two league defeats this year (0-2 on April 2, 2023, and 0-1 on December 2, 2023). The three consecutive defeats mentioned date back to 1922, but I suggest verifying the source, as different statistics might yield different results depending on the criteria used.

If needed, I can pull up the official match records since 1900 to confirm the claim about three consecutive losses or create a table of the last 20 matchups. Would you like me to verify and list the exact matches? I can provide options: 1) Just verify the last 10 league encounters, 2) Full historical record of three consecutive defeats, or 3) Create a CSV table.
