Newcastle are 10th in Premier League table and in need of a win to secure a top-half finish.

Fourth-placed Tottenham, meanwhile, are under pressure from Chelsea, who visit St James's Park on Sunday.

Five United players – Matt Ritchie, Mohamed Diame, Jonjo Shelvey, Dwight Gayle and Martin Dubravka – have played at Wembley with previous clubs or their countries, while Javier Manquillo was an unused substitute with Liverpool.

Meanwhile, former Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko is in Tottenham's starting XI.
