Eddie Howe will be keen to disrupt Manchester United's 'momentum' and has already proven Newcastle United can 'overrun' their Carabao Cup final opponents. That is the view of Magpies legend Warren Barton, who believes his former side could enjoy success targeting the Red Devils' full-backs at Wembley.
Howe's side are hoping to enter the club's history books by ending the painful trophy drought in the showpiece occasion on Sunday. Having already dispatched Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Southampton and Tranmere Rovers, the Magpies are now facing their biggest test against one of their top-four rivals.
Manchester United are the form side in the Premier League, having tasted defeat only once since the World Cup break. Erik ten Hag's side are still fighting on four fronts, and face a blockbuster Europa League knockout home tie against Barcelona just three days' before the Carabao Cup final.
