Manchester United
As was the case against Manchester City, all of Luke Shaw (muscle), Amad Diallo (knee), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Lisandro Martinez (foot) will be absent for the Red Devils on Wednesday, while Jadon Sancho has now spent two months ostracised from the main group of players.
Neither Casemiro nor Aaron Wan-Bissaka were passed fit to take on the Citizens, although both men should be in with a chance of shaking off their afflictions for the visit of Newcastle, where Ten Hag should not be averse to rotating his under-performing players.
Raphael Varane, Sergio Reguilon, Mason Mount, Alejandro Garnacho and a fit-again Kobbie Mainoo could all offer something different, but having given Andre Onana the nod against Palace, Ten Hag seems set to stick with the Cameroonian over Altay Bayindir.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Amrabat, Eriksen; Antony, Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund
Newcastle
Meanwhile, Newcastle officially began life without Sandro Tonali over the weekend as the Italy international's 10-month ban for betting breaches came into effect, meaning that the £55m summer signing will not don the black and white jersey again until August.
Harvey Barnes (ankle), Elliot Anderson (back), Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Lewis Miley (illness) and third-round matchwinner Isak (groin) will not be at Howe's disposal either, while Sven Botman's knee problem is unlikely to heal in time for Wednesday's contest too.
Having not been afraid to make a few alterations against Man City, Howe could place his trust in the likes of Tino Livramento, Matt Targett and Joe Willock, who opened the scoring in April's two-goal success over the Red Devils.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Livramento, Schar, Lascelles, Targett; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Newcastle United (Newcastle to win on penalties)
