Newcastle face the FA Cup holders Manchester City at St. James' Park aiming to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2005.
The Magpies have not lost to City in their last two meetings and know victory will see them book a cup trip to Wembley for the first time since the new stadium opened.
Pep Guardiola's men have won nine FA Cup games on the spin dating back to January 2019 and will be keen to remain on course for a second domestic trophy of the campaign.
The victors will progress to the semis, which will be staged on the weekend beginning July 18.
Date, time and venue
Newcastle vs Man City is scheduled for a kick-off time of 6:30pm BST at St. James. Park on Sunday, June 28.
Team news
Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce will run the rule over his walking wounded before naming his team for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final clash with holders Manchester City.
Isaac Hayden and Matt Ritchie both limped out of Wednesday night's 1-1 Premier League draw with Aston Villa having suffered soft tissue injuries, and they will be assessed.
Bruce hopes fellow midfielder Matty Longstaff has shaken off a thigh problem, while older brother Sean has been nursing a muscle strain, and defenders Florian Lejeune and Ciaran Clark are working their way back to full fitness.
Manchester City are without Fernandinho through suspension after his sending off at Chelsea on Thursday.
The Brazilian, who has deputised at centre-back for most of the season, is beginning a two-match ban, but defender John Stones will be assessed after a foot injury.
Midfielder Phil Foden (thigh) and defender Eric Garcia (head) will also be checked, but full-back Joao Cancelo could be out after a knock and record goalscorer Sergio Aguero (knee) is sidelined.
Prediction: Newcastle 1-3 Man City
A packed out St. James' Park would have been a daunting proposition for Manchester City but the empty stands will no doubt play into the holders' favour.
City arrive in the north east wounded having surrendered their Premier League crown with seven games to play in the campaign. Pep Guardiola will be determined to respond by moving a step closer to the seventh major trophy of his City reign.
