Newcastle United will have to play high-flying Brighton and Hove Albion as their game in hand, which will not be an easy game by any means.
The match was initially supposed to take place at the end of February but was postponed due to Newcastle’s involvement in the Carabao Cup final.
It is unclear at this stage when the rearranged fixture will take place, due to Brighton advancing to the FA Cup semi-final.
As for Manchester United, they need to play Brighton, too. However, the Red Devils know when this fixture will take place as the game has been scheduled in for Thursday May 4 at 8 pm.
