Newcastle United head to Old Trafford knowing that they will finish above Manchester United if they avoid defeat this evening. However Eddie Howe and Co will be thinking a lot bigger than that, with sixth place in the Premier League on the line.
An away win for the Magpies keeps them in the driving seat for a Europa League place, with Chelsea also in action tonight against Brighton. Newcastle’s superior goal difference has given them the advantage but they must ensure they end the season with two positive results.
Howe has a few decisions to make tonight, not least in goal, where Nick Pope is pushing to reclaim his place following a long lay-off. Joelinton and Miguel Almiron are also close to a starting role, although Callum Wilson is again a doubt after missing the draw with Brighton.
