Newcastle United continue their charge for the Champions League on Sunday when Manchester United visit St James' Park in a 4:30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.

Eddie Howe has got his side into the driving seat when it comes to Champions League qualification. Level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand, all signs point towards Newcastle stealing fourth spot come the end of the season.

Although, thanks to Arsenal's emphatic win over Real Madrid on Tuesday night, fifth place will also bag Champions League football giving Eddie Howe a margin for error.

However, rather than take that risk, Newcastle will be looking to make it four wins in a row on Sunday at the expense of Manchester United.

Roy Keane and Gary Neville are backing a Newcastle win on Sunday

Two former Manchester United heroes have now probably upset their old fanbase with their Super Six predictions for Sky. Roy Keane and Gary Neville have both backed Newcastle to win.

Roy Keane has even gone big with his prediction much to Neville's disgust, and indeed that of Ian Wright.

Keane: “3-1 Newcastle.”

Wright: “I don’t like that.”

Neville: “I wouldn’t go that strong either. I think [Manchester] United are quite solid. 2-1 Newcastle.”

Ruben Amorim is struggling to get Manchester United to do what he wants

Newcastle have had the beating of Man United under Eddie Howe and the Magpies will be going into this game as firm favourites across the board you'd imagine.

Ruben Amorim can not get a tune out of the players he has inherited, but rather than tweak his style to fit the players he has, he's still trying to force round pegs into square holes.

Long may that continue, especially on Sunday.
