Man Utd vs Newcastle: Carabao Cup Final and Premier League Preview Show|Eastafricanreport

Edge of the Box is back and Dan Bardell is once again joined by Jonathan Wilson with Eastafricanreport.com‘s very own Ciarán McLoughlin joining proceedings to discuss the biggest talking points from this week’s Carabao Cup Final and Premier League action.

The show starts with a run through of the Champions League Team of the Week, before getting into the big games coming up this week.

The London Derby between Tottenham and Chelsea is next on the agenda before the panel take a look into how long Potter will be given if results don’t pick up and how effective Chelsea’s barrage of January signings have been given they have only scored once since the window closed.

They then delve into the resurgence of Emerson Royal and what his improvement in form means for Porro, before commenting on how Spurs have fared with Conte’s stint away from the dugout, and who should start between Son and Richarlison?

There is also a combined XI for this big match.

The Carabao Cup final is next up, with Manchester United and Newcastle battling it out at Wembley for their first piece of silverware this season. Both teams have been pretty consistent defensively in the Carabao Cup with the two sides keeping four clean sheets a piece, but Man United have been a lot more affluent on the attack, they’ve scored six more than Newcastle but what will that mean in the final? 

Bruno Guimaraes has been one of Newcastle’s highest rated players of the season so far and has been a fundamental part of their ascent in the league but how does he compare with Man United’s very own Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro, who made the move to Manchester in the summer and has been pivotal since. There is also a combined XI for this game.
