Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of this Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford!

Tonight's fixture is all about firming up places in Europe next season and it's all a little messy, so let's try and break it down. Manchester United can still take the one remaining Europa League spot by winning the FA Cup, which would mean the team finishing sixth - which is currently Newcastle - would go into the Europa Conference League. If, however, Man United lose to Manchester City in the FA Cup final then the team finishing sixth goes into the Europa League and the Europa Conference League berth goes to the team in seventh, which is currently Chelsea. To make things more complicated, Newcastle and Chelsea can still overhaul Tottenham to take fifth - a spot that guarantees Europa League football - though Spurs place Sheffield United on the last day. Okay, all clear? Probably not, but just trust the fact this one is about European football permuations...

Newcastle, meanwhile, are finishing the campaign pretty strongly. Eddie Howe's men have lost just once in their past six, winning four of those and drawing their last fixture 1-1 with Brighton. You'd have to say they probably start this one as slight favourites.

Once rivals for title glory in the 1990s, this fixture remains a popular one even if the sting has been taken off it by the hosts' poor form. The Red Devils have just one win in their past eight top-flight matches to crank the pressure up on boss Erik ten Hag, especially with the Jim Radcliffe revolution in full swing.
