This has the makings of a high-stakes game, but Man U’s red-hot form will scorch past Newcastle’s trailblazing shape. Joelinton and Sean Longstaff lead the team in this tourney with two goals each while Trippier and Miguel Almiron each have two assists. Howe’s back four of Fabian Schar, Burn, Botman, and Trippier is sealed, while Guimaraes is back in the midfield with Joelinton and Longstaff. No club in Europe has waited longer for a major trophy than Newcastle; Hamburg (1987), Torino (1993), Everton (1995), Espanyol (2006), and Saint-Etienne do not even come close to Newcastle’s trophy drought. For Man U’s final game this February and a coveted silverware on the line, Erik Ten hag will try to survive this one without some familiar faces in his rotation. In six matches in the Carabao Cup, the Magpies have scored eight goals, six coming from assists with just two goals conceded. In this tournament, Man U triumphed over Aston Villa, Burnley, Charlton Athletic, and twice against Nottingham Forest in two legs in the semi-finals. Barca secured the lead after scoring the penalty kick 18 minutes into the contest, but Fred and Antony pounced for goals in the second half to push Man U into the round of 16 where they will play Real Betis in March. A first trophy for the club in almost six years would add to the upbeat feeling that has been restored by the Dutch boss Erik Ten Hag in an impressive start to his tenure in English football competition. Since then, the Red Devils have lost just once since November in all competitions and are on the back of a nine-game unbeaten streak.

With Manchester United expected to dominate the match in key areas, this is set up perfectly for Newcastle to rack up corners. Would you believe me if I told you Newcastle have the most corners in the Premier League to date? Manchester United will be exposed to the counter, but Newcastle aren't exactly a counter-attacking team and may not be primed to take advantage of that Red Devils' weakness. He has yet to score this season, but not for a lack of opportunities, as he's racked up 2.14 xG just on headed chances alone this year in league play. Missing Pope, and starting the surely rusty Loris Karius, will be a massive blow to the Magpies in a match where the goalkeeper should play a crucial role. - Manchester United have not won a trophy since the 2016/17 double under Jose Mourinho. Newcastle's xGA to goals conceded differential of 10.56 is second-highest in the league, only behind Fulham's insane 15.35 mark. Easily the biggest concern for Man United is the availability of the white-hot Marcus Rashford, who was substituted off late midweek in the Europa League win over Barcelona with a muscle injury. - Since the end of the World Cup break, Marcus Rashford has scored 16 goals in 17 games, scoring once every 80 minutes on average. Newcastle get a huge boost with the return of Bruno Guimaraes, who has been a noticeable absence from the Toon midfield through the month of February due to suspension. The injury concern around Marcus Rashford has likely also impacted Man United's odds in this match, as he has carried the club through the past few months with his great form. The Magpies have visions of grandeur and their first top-level trophy since winning this very competition in the 1975/76 season.

Man United and Newcastle face off in the 2022/23 Carabao Cup final this weekend but what happens if the tie is level after 90 minutes at Wembley?

In the history of the Carabao Cup (and its previous EFL Cup versions) a final has been won in extra time on eight occasions, including the first final, as Aston Villa beat Rotherham 3-2 in 1961. [When is the 2023 Carabao Cup final?](https://www.sportingnews.com/au/soccer/news/carabao-cup-final-2023-league-cup-dates/hrn1lllxjxrqmyvmsbffc9iu) Extra-time and penalties are a potential for any Carabao Cup final since the start of 2018/19. As part of its reformatting, the EFL/Carabao Cup has amended its extra-time and penalties format in recent seasons, with the competition enjoying a revival since 2017. Extra-time was used in each round of the Carabao Cup until the 2018/19 campaign when EFL clubs voted in favour of cutting back on having to play an extra 30 minutes. Manchester United and Newcastle do battle in the 2022/23 Carabao Cup final at Wembley on February 26 as both teams aim to secure the first major title of the English domestic season.

United in an ideal situation get an owner that clears the debt and uses revenue to operate.” Saunders does not want the club to be in the conversation when questions over human rights are being asked and says: “I don’t think United need a wealthy benefactor. They need someone that will come in and not bleed the club dry like the current owners have. So our ask to any new owner is simple: have a clear plan to get United back to the top; invest in the team, the club and the stadium; and work with fans as real partners and co-owners.” If only it were that simple.

He points out that Newcastle fans have been singing “sack the board” on and off at St James’ Park since the 1970s, less than 10 years after the most recent trophy win of 1969, and believes this regime should get the same treatment. Ownership is the cause of that. Eddie Howe’s “intensity is our identity” motto has won him admirers on Tyneside and beyond, and Erik ten Hag has overseen the reawakening of Old Trafford’s sleeping giant.
