Kick-off at St. James' Park will be at 8pm (BST). The game will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The match - originally scheduled for Saturday, 11th April at 3pm (BST) - was chosen for live broadcast in the UK last week, but further consultation with the authorities was required before the date and time could be confirmed.

No other games involving the Magpies have been selected for live broadcast in the UK in April.

However, next month's home game against Aston Villa (currently Saturday, 21st March at 3pm GMT) would be rearranged if Newcastle were to progress to the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup, while a new date would be needed for United's trip to Manchester City (currently Saturday, 18th April at 3pm BST) should one or both sides reach the semi-finals of the competition.
