Newcastle will aim to cross the finish line in the race to qualify for Europe when they take on Manchester United.

A win at Old Trafford could secure a top-six spot for the Magpies, leaving eight-placed Man United behind while Chelsea, who sit seventh, face Brighton on Wednesday night.

A run of one defeat in their last seven games has set Newcastle up well as the season’s end approaches, particularly after a torrid winter which threatened to leave them stranded in mid-table.

It has been a tough season for Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils with just one win in eight Premier League games after being beaten at home to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Dutchman has struggled against Eddie Howe but needs a result to help save his job.
