Newcastle United and Manchester United face off in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, with tensions running high between the two teams.
The infamous words of Kevin Keegan as his Newcastle United side battled with, and ultimately lost the Premier League title to, Manchester United in 1996. It was seen as the crowning Sir Alex Ferguson mind game success as the Reds overhauled a 12-point deficit to sweep past the Magpies and claim the championship.
Ten Hag has spoken of how Newcastle 'try and annoy you' and 'delay the game' while Howe referenced it in his team talk ahead of his side's win over the Reds in April. So while it might not be the fireworks of the mid-90s, this game will mean a great deal to both managers come kick off on Wednesday night. Indeed, for Ten Hag it is crucial. United's lacklustre campaign could use the shot in the arm of a cup victory over a top-end Premier League club.
United are almost the polar opposite. Ten Hag has chopped and changed his side to try and find a winning formula while the identity of his team this season is a mystery. The players look short on confidence and inspiration and the fans have been left wondering what's gone wrong after an encouraging if not flawless first campaign under the Dutchman.
