Man Utd vs Newcastle preview
There's no love lost between Manchester United and Newcastle United at the best of times.
But Wednesday's Old Trafford showdown has extra riding on it as the sides battle it out for a spot in Europe.
The Toon (57 pts) go into the game in sixth spot and three clear of United in eighth, with Chelsea also on 57 points and in action at Brighton on the same night.
With the remaining European places dictated by United's FA Cup final with Man City at the end of the season, only sixth spot is guaranteed to get continental football this term.
Erik ten Hag's men huffed and puffed against Arsenal on Sunday but their lack of quality with the absence of the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford told in the end.
The Gunners were hanging on but did so comfortably enough and left United in the position of needing two wins to round off the season.
Eddie Howe's side will be kicking themselves at dropping points to Brighton on Saturday, leaving them with work to do in the remaining games.
Man Utd's last league win over Newcastle came back in 2021 - though they did win last year's Carabao Cup final meeting - with Newcastle unbeaten in every game since.
They also won 3-0 on their last visit to this ground, earlier this season.

Man Utd vs Newcastle betting tips
Anthony Gordon to score 1st at 7/1 with Ladbrokes -
The Newcastle winger recently received the club's player of the year trophy and rightly so.
A lot was asked of him coming in for a big fee but he's excelled with double figures in goals and assists in the Premier League.
Final ball so much more accomplished than opposite number in Alejandro Garnacho and will cause United's back four all sorts of problems whether on the front foot or playing on the counter.
Diogo Dalot to be carded at 10/3 with William Hill -
This pick almost goes hand in hand with the one above.
But whether Dalot plays on the left or right of United's back four, he's in for a difficult evening.
With no real centre backs playing alongside him, he can't afford to let anyone pass him and can add to his six yellows so far this season.
Scott McTominay Over 1 Shot On Target at 9/4 with William Hill -
Skippered the side at the weekend in Bruno Fernandes' absence and likely to keep his spot here.
Was poor in possession on Sunday so needs a reaction here and the potential in the more advanced role could see him create more opportunities for himself.
Has come up with big goals for United this campaign and Wednesday evening could be no different.
