Manchester United will hope to take advantage of Liverpool’s blunder as they visit Newcastle this evening at the St. James’ Park in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
United sit third after coming from behind to beat Crystal Palace last time out, but after the Reds were beaten late on by Wolves last night, United have the chance to pull six points clear of their Champions League qualification rivals.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have fallen well off the pace in the race for a European berth, arguably due to the demands of their Champions League campaign and resultant injuries.
Their middling form will give Carrick some confidence, too. The Magpies come into this tie having lost five of their last six league matches, most recently tasting defeat at home to Everton. They also failed to beat relegation favourites Wolves in late January.
They are facing a brutal run of fixtures, too, with Manchester City in the FA Cup, Barcelona in the Champions League, and a league visit to Chelsea all on the horizon, before the month ends with the small matter of a Tyne and Wear derby.
