Update: Newcastle vs Man United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash News

Arsenal welcome reigning champions Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium as the two sides meet for only the third time ever in the Champions League quarter-finals

Newcastle United stand on the cusp of a potentially game-changing season, with a coveted Champions League spot within their grasp as they gear up to face Manchester United at St James’ Park. This season has already marked a significant milestone for the Magpies, with Eddie Howe ending their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy by winning the EFL Cup.

Instead of resting on their laurels after their Wembley victory, Howe’s team has sustained their winning streak in the Premier League, achieving back-to-back wins that have elevated them to fifth place. This position might suffice for a Champions League qualification, though the competition remains intense with just six points separating Newcastle from Brighton in ninth place.

To realise their European dreams, Newcastle must keep up their impressive form. They might find an advantage against Manchester United, who are currently navigating crucial Europa League ties against Lyon. With Ruben Amorim’s squad needing a Europa League victory to secure their spot in next season’s elite European competitions, they may choose to rest key players ahead of Thursday’s pivotal second leg against the French side.
