Newcastle United are at Old Trafford tonight as they look to continue their inspired form by beating Manchester United. The game is live on Sky Sports. Kick-off is at 8pm.
Eddie Howe has resisted the urge with the winning formula in a bid to not disrupt the side that has been playing so well lately.
There was a rumour going around that Alexander Isak wouldn't be involved tonight which has thankfully turned out to be untrue with the Sweden striker named as striker.
Meanwhile, Matt Targett drops from the bench to allow Tino Livramento to take up a spot in the dugout with Kieran Trippier starting again.
Sven Botman didn't make the squad as we'd hoped, but we always felt that was more of an outside chance.
So, it's as you were for Newcastle United with no changes to the starting XI.
Eddie Howe has a strong bench to pull from if, for some reason, things aren't going according to plan.
Ruben Amorim has named Lisandro Martinez as the captain for this one with Bruno Fernandes out.
Marcus Rashford has been placed on the bench, and as poor as he's been lately he is a pest as far as Newcastle are concerned.
Rasmus Hojlund leads the line with Casemiro back in the side. Andre Onana is between the sticks, so we might as well have a crack at scoring direct from a corner, and see if he flaps at it again.
HOWAY EDDIE HOWE'S UNCHANGED MAGS!
