FEUDING Amazon pundits Alan Shearer and Michael Owen will be kept apart for Manchester United vs Newcastle on Boxing Day.
The pair were involved in a war of words in September after Owen criticised Shearer in his explosive autobiography.

And they will not be working together when Newcastle visit Old Trafford next week.
According to ChronicleLive, Shearer will be a co-commentator with Clive Tyldesley for the mouth-watering Premier League clash.
There’s no place for Owen in the studio either, with Peter Schmeichel and Owen Hargreaves both providing insights on the game.
It’s reckoned that Owen will instead be on duty for Man City’s clash at Wolves the day after.
ChronicleLive claims an Amazon source said: “It’s a natural spreading out of the talent given the number of fixtures.”
Owen has since claimed he tried reaching out to Shearer but the pair are yet to speak.
A friend also told Owen “don’t bother” trying to patch things up.
It remains to be seen if the pair set aside their problems, with Amazon looking to bag even more live Premier League fixtures in the future.
