A full slate of midweek Premier League action continues on Wednesday night with Michael Carrick’s high-flying Red Devils taking on Eddie Howe’s free-falling Magpies at St James’ Park.

These two sides were level on points when Carrick took over from Ruben Amorim, but six wins from seven outings since then have seen United rise to third in the table. Meanwhile, injuries and a heavy multi-competition fixture schedule look to be catching up with Newcastle, who have slipped to 13th and are 15 points adrift of today’s opponent before kick-off.

For Tyneside native Carrick, this presents a chance to solidify both United’s hopes of a return to Champions League football and his own chances of earning the top job on a permanent basis in the summer. For Howe, a flawless record in this fixture is on the line, as is the opportunity to stop a disappointing campaign from getting worse.
