Newcastle United will aim to keep their UEFA Champions League push on track when they host Manchester United at St James' Park.

The Carabao Cup winners will move into the top five with a victory and retain a game in hand on the other teams in the European shake-up.

They will be without Eddie Howe on the touchline after the Newcastle manager was taken ill and hospitalised on Friday.

Manchester United will have an eye on the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal against Lyon, with multiple reports suggesting goalkeeper Amadou Onana is set to be dropped after his error-stewn display during Thursday's 2-2 draw in France.

1 hr 30 mins before kickoff: This is one of four Premier League games today and, in one of the earlier kickoffs, events are unfolding that could be of huge significance to Newcastle's top-five bid. Chelsea are at home to relegation-doomed Ipswich and are 2-0 down to Kieran McKenna's side. If the Tractor Boys hold on, Chelsea will be level on points with Newcastle in sixth having played two games more.

IPSWICH DOUBLE THEIR LEAD. It's Ben Johnson with his first goal for the club!
