Manchester United may have been knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend, but they've still got the Premier League title in their sites, and will be looking to secure a commanding position ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea by earning all three points against old enemies Newcastle United. Sir Alex Ferguson's side can't afford to slip up here, so despite some crunch fixtures coming up in the next few weeks they're fielding a strong side with only Rio Ferdinand rested. Do Alan Pardew and Newcastle have enough to slow them in their march to the league crown?
