MANCHESTER UNITED and Newcastle face off in a thrilling Premier League encounter on Tyneside – and both sides will be desparate to put their midweek troubles in the past.
The Magpies were robbed of a sensational win in Paris when Kylian Mbappe's controversial late penalty forced them to share a point with PSG.
And as a result, Eddie Howe's men have to depend on other results going their way to seal Champions League last-16 qualification.
Meanwhile, United's European hopes hang by a thread after throwing away a two-goal lead against Galatasaray only to draw 3-3.
To stand any chance of earning a knockout spot, Erik ten Hag's side would have to BEAT Bayern Munich at the Allianz on matchday six.
However, all attention now switches to the Premier League and both clubs will be determined to build on their emphatic wins last weekend.
