Manchester United and Newcastle face off at Wembley Stadium this weekend in the first major final of the domestic season — the 2022/23 Carabao Cup final.

Both sides are desperate to secure a key piece of silverware this season, with Erik ten Hag and Eddie Howe both enjoying impressive Premier League campaigns, alongside a run to this final.

Ten Hag has stated that no trophy since 2017 is too long for a club of United's status, but Newcastle's wait is far greater than both Ten Hag and United, with the 1955 FA Cup their last major domestic title.

Here's all the key information on the match including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups and betting odds.

Man United vs Newcastle lineups

Marcus Rashford passed a late fitness test to start after having suffered a knock against Barcelona.

Ten Hag's only changes from that match saw Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka left out in favour of Antony and Diogo Dalot.

Man United starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw — Fred, Casemiro — Antony, Fernandes, Rashford — Weghorst

Man United subs: Heaton (GK), Lindelof, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Malacia, McTominay, Sabitzer, Garnacho, Sancho

Newcastle's plans were rocked by a three game ban for Nick Pope, following his red card in last weekend's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool, with Martin Dubravka ineligible.

In a bizarre twist of irony, Dubravka cannot play in the final due his Carabao Cup appearances on loan at Old Trafford earlier this season, meaning former Liverpool stopper Loris Karius makes his first start in almost two years.

Key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is back from his own suspension with Joelinton winning his battle to be fit on time to start at Wembley. Joe Willock is on the bench.

Newcastle starting XI (4-3-3): Karius (GK) — Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn — Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton — Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin

Newcastle subs: Gillespie (GK), Ritchie, Lascelles, Targett, Isak, Manquillo, Murphy, Willock, Anderson

Man United vs Newcastle prediction, odds

Newcastle fans will travel to Wembley in their thousands to try and inspire the team to a first trophy in decades but their form has dipped at precisely the wrong time for Howe.

Just two wins in six for the Magpies, compared to Ten Hag's United being unbeaten in nine, shows a gap between them ahead of the final, and the Red Devils should have the edge at Wembley.
