Newcastle United is in a strong position to secure a fifth consecutive win against Manchester United, allowing them to maintain their spot for next season's Champions League. After winning the EFL Cup, Newcastle's focus has remained sharp, and they have secured impressive victories against Brentford and Leicester. Assistant manager Jason Tindall noted the cup final was beneficial timing, and the team is confident despite injuries. Anthony Gordon returns to the bench, while the team seeks to exploit Manchester United's recent struggles, having won more of their last encounters at home.
"In some senses, the cup final came at a good time," says Newcastle assistant manager Jason Tindall, who will deputise for ill boss Eddie Howe. "We've [since] delivered two good performances - not our best, but the most important thing was getting the results."
Newcastle have won both of their last two and three of their last five home games against United, who are on a run of one win in five league games and arguably in a weaker position.
