Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United host Manchester United in a huge clash as both sides fight for a top-four place in the Premier League.
The Magpies come into this one on the back of an inspiring performance in France against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Despite sharing the spoils, Howe’s men were brilliant against the likes of Kylian Mbappe and co.
Erik ten Hag’s side also proved they can compete in hostile environments but will be hoping to avoid similar defensive mistakes as they threw away a two-goal lead and drew 3-3 against Galatasaray.
