As a result, the fixture will be played over the weekend of 10th-13th April. The time and date will be confirmed following further consultation with the authorities.

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.
