Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has claimed that Sunday afternoon's clash with Erik ten Hag's side will be Newcastle United's "biggest game in the season" as Eddie Howe's side look to move up into third.
Victory at St James' Park for the Magpies would see them leapfrog the Red Devils and go above their top four rivals on goal difference. Tottenham would have the chance to overtake both sides with a win over Everton on Monday night, but Newcastle and Man United both have two games in hand on Spurs.
Sunday's meeting will be the third this season with the two teams playing out a 0-0 draw back at Old Trafford before the Carabao Cup final heartbreak at Wembley. Newcastle would love to exact their revenge this weekend and Parker believes that a draw would not be a beneficial outcome for either team in what he predicts to be a nail-biting game of football.
