Latest Newcastle vs MU squad information
Newcastle will be without defender Lewis Hall due to a foot injury. Centre-backs Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are also out with knee injuries. Midfielder Joe Willock is still recovering from a concussion that forced him to miss the Leicester game.
Assistant manager Jason Tindall said Newcastle will wait until closer to kick-off to decide whether Anthony Gordon, who is battling a groin injury, will be available. Alexander Isak, though not fully fit, will start.
For Man United, Lisandro Martinez (knee), Jonny Evans (muscle), Ayden Heaven (ankle), Amad Diallo (ankle) and Toby Collyer (foot) all continue to be absent.
Centre-back Matthijs de Ligt is likely to miss a third consecutive game due to an injury sustained in the defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this month.
Coach Ruben Amorim may rotate his squad to save energy for the return leg against Lyon. Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount and Zirkzee are the names that could be given the chance to start. In addition, he may also consider giving Onana a rest and giving the opportunity to start second goalkeeper Altay Bayindir – who has never played in the Premier League.

Latest Newcastle vs MU football review
Newcastle go into Sunday's game buoyed by a run of four straight wins in all competitions, starting with a narrow win over West Ham in the Premier League, followed by a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley to claim the League Cup – their first domestic trophy in 70 years.
Back in the Premier League, Newcastle continued their fine form with a 2-1 win over Brentford and then a comfortable 3-0 win away at Leicester City – who are all but certain to be relegated. Jacob Murphy scored an early double before Harvey Barnes netted against his former club to seal the win in the first half.
That victory took Eddie Howe's side up to fifth, before being overtaken by Man City after their win over Crystal Palace. However, the Premier League's recent addition to the Champions League - thanks to Arsenal's win over Real Madrid - means Newcastle are well on their way back to the competition for the second time in three seasons.
Despite having one game left to play compared to their surrounding opponents, Newcastle clearly knows they cannot be complacent in their remaining eight games. And having won four of their last five meetings with Man United, they are confident of taking all three points at home.
In fact, if Newcastle beat the Red Devils again, they will complete a Premier League double over Man United for the first time since 1931, having won 2-0 at Old Trafford in the first leg last December.
Meanwhile, Man United now considers the Europa League as their top priority, as it is the only way to qualify for the 2025-26 European Cup.
In the first leg of the quarter-finals in France on Thursday, Man United looked to have won against Lyon despite goalkeeper Onana's error leading to Thiago Almada's opener. Leny Yoro equalised before Joshua Zirkzee made it 2-1 in the 88th minute. But another Onana error in injury time allowed Rayan Cherki to level the score, leaving the match to be decided in the return leg.
Not only did they draw with Lyon, it was also the third consecutive match that Man United have failed to win since a 3-0 win over Leicester before the international break.
Now, Man United are only playing to improve their position. They are in 13th place with 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses after 31 rounds - in danger of ending the season with the worst position in the club's Premier League history.
Unless they win all seven remaining games, they will not be able to reach their previous low of 58 points. They have not even won two consecutive Premier League games this season.
Man United will travel to St James' Park hoping to pick up their first win here since October 2020, and avoid Newcastle winning back-to-back home games against them – something that hasn't happened in 55 years.
