Newcastle vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more

04/02/2023

Newcastle could move level on points with Manchester United with victory over their opponents this afternoon.

The battle for a Premier League top-four place appears likely to go to the wire with Tottenham, who moved on from Antonio Conte during the international break, also firmly in the mix.

These two sides have the benefit of having two games in hand on Spurs, and a win for either here would provide a significant boost.

The hosts will be out for a measure of revenge after the pair’s recent Carabao Cup final meeting ended in the first trophy of the Erik ten Hag era at Manchester United.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:
