Newcastle vs Manchester United LIVE: Magpies seek Carabao Cup final revenge as injury-hit Red Devils travel to Tyneside

The Red Devils defeated Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley in February to end their trophy drought and extend Newcastle’s, but the focus is now on the top-four race.

After back-to-back victories over Wolves and Nottingham Forest, the Toon can move above Manchester United with a win at St James’ Park.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s side has yet to win a league game since beating Newcastle at Wembley and has been thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool.

The Red Devils, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their past six Premier League meetings with the Magpies and have defeated them 14 times at Saint James’ Park in the top tier.

Anthony Gordon is also expected to be ready after recovering from an ankle injury, and Sven Botman is being evaluated after withdrawing from the Netherlands squad due to illness.
