Eddie Howe’s Newcastle will have their sights set on a Champions League finish this season. The Magpies come into this showdown against Man United in excellent form after winning their last three Premier League matches.

Confidence at St. James’ Park will be at an all-time high after winning their first major trophy in over 70 years, while confidence of a Champions League finish would have increased this week after it was confirmed that fifth would be enough to secure their target.

Man United’s only route back into the elite European competition looks via winning the Europa League. Therefore, there will be no surprise to see Ruben Amorim make changes to his team ahead of this showdown on Sunday.
