The Magpies had been set to entertain Thomas Frank's men at St. James' Park on Sunday, 17th September at 16:30 BST.

But due to United's participation in the Champions League the following Tuesday, when they play AC Milan away from home, the clash with the Bees has been brought forward to Saturday, 16th September and will kick off at 17:30 BST.

The game will still be shown live on Sky Sports.

Any further alterations to the Magpies' fixture schedule will be confirmed in due course.
