Newcastle United host Manchester United at St James’ Park this Sunday (4:30pm kick-off) and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has had his say on the match.

The match will be a replay of last month’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium as Newcastle look to get revenge and leapfrog Man United in the Premier League table. The Magpies currently sit fifth, three points behind The Red Devils in third but with significantly superior goal difference.

A win for Eddie Howe’s side could prove crucial in their chase for Champions League qualification while defeat could leave them five points adrift of the top four should Tottenham Hotspur beat Everton on Monday. Manchester United will be without suspended midfielder Casemiro, who scored in their 2-0 cup final win over Newcastle.
