Newcastle United could be just three points away from securing a Europa Conference League place if they beat West Ham at the London Stadium.
West Ham's haul of 56 points got them into Europe last season and Newcastle, sitting on 50 points with 11 games left, could reach that amount by the end of the week.
Indeed, the Hammers secured seventh place and 56 is a ballpark figure to earn a place in the lowest-ranked Continental competition next term. Of course, the Magpies have their eyes on bigger prizes but going into two crucial games in the capital at West Ham then Brentford at the weekend, they are edging ever closer to ticking one possible box in terms of Europe.
