Eddie Howe is refusing to get caught up in talk that Newcastle United are in the race for Europe.
The Newcastle chief is eager to maintain focus on a weekly basis but knows that in-form Fulham - who are just four points behind his team - are a threat in this season's shake-up at the top. Fulham have won every game they've played since the World Cup.
When asked if Fulham may join Newcastle in the race for a European spot, Howe said: "I've always said I don't think we're in a race, but I'd include them in whatever bracket you want to include teams in. They've been consistently good and four wins in a row is very difficult to do in the Premier League."
