Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has urged his players to create their own history against Manchester United tonight.
Newcastle sealed a number of unforgettable victories over Monday's opponents under the guidance of Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson, who presided over some entertaining United line-ups during the first decade of the Premier League era.
"There's a lot of memories that spring to mind of those games – Newcastle tended, at that period of time, to have memorable games against most teams, to be honest," said Howe. "I think there are stand-out moments you think back to, and I can picture some of the goals and the scenes in my mind.
"It's up to us to try and recreate those times – the attacking verve, the swagger that that team had, the flair the individual players possessed, but then the team took that identity over and it's certainly something we're desperate to do.
"But we're going to need a little bit of time to see that in full creation. At the moment, we're still progressing, and we have to obviously get the defensive side of our game right before we transition into the team we all want to be."
