Newcastle vs Man United - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as The Magpies attempt to leapfrog Erik ten Hag's side with a win at St James' Park

It's going to get noisy in Newcastle tonight as we edge closer to kick off and home players have arrived at St James' Park.

The hosts are just a single point adrift of United in the Premier League standings and you sense the home advantage could be a huge deciding factor tonight.

Erik ten Hag's side have crumbled here before and they will have to find a way to not do so again.

Tonight's starting teams will be with us in around 15 minutes time, but we have some early selection regarding injuries and the players that are unavailable for tonight's match.

Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff remains out with an ankle injury while forward Joe Willock is also unavailable but showing good signs of recovery from his injury.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hall is available for selection having missed last weekend's win against his parent club Chelsea.

Marcus Rashford is available after serving a one-game suspension in the Champions League, but Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen remain out.

Good evening and thanks for joining us for tonight's Saturday evening Premier League encounter between Newcastle and Manchester United.

It's cold and windy in the north east and the visitors have previously struggled at St James' Park, tonight could be another difficult away trip as they travel further north while still reeling from a midweek draw in Turkey that left their Champions League ambitions in tatters.

Kick off is at 8pm and we have plenty to get through before then.
