Manchester United face seven matches in the space of just 23 days this month after reaching the Carabao Cup final.
With a 3-0 first-leg lead against Nottingham Forest, second-half goals at Old Trafford from substitute Anthony Martial and Fred confirmed a meeting with Newcastle United, who advanced 3-1 on aggregate against Southampton. While one eye may well be on Wembley, United manager Erik ten Hag will know that half a dozen matches will come before that date on February 26.
After almost a fortnight of focussing on domestic cup competitions, attention returns to the Premier League this weekend and bouncing back from last month's late defeat against Arsenal. Another club from the capital, Crystal Palace, will be the opponents looking to end United's winning run at home.
