Newcastle United appear to be heading in only one direction.
Their comprehensive win at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur was absolutely staggering to watch and has, understandably, left some Liverpool supporters concerned of the levels they could reach in the years to come.
This is just the start for Newcastle and they are going to improve, of course they will. If they get into the Champions League for next season, they are going to have a lot of money to spend. Their owners are wealthier than Manchester City’s so, if they get into Europe, I expect they will spend really big.

Eddie Howe has done a great job, but Newcastle will go out and get one of the best managers in the world should they decide he no longer is the right person for the job at any point. They are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come, make no mistake about it.
While other teams have undoubtedly improved, that hasn’t been the case with Liverpool for whatever reason. We still have a really strong squad, but we’re going to be in transition for the next couple of years due to certain big players getting old. We have to see what happens in the summer, too, we don’t know what the plan is.
It shouldn’t take us long to get back to competing for the biggest prizes because we shouldn’t be where we are with the squad we have. It seems to be more of a mental issue that has been holding this team back during the current season.
Arsenal find themselves in familiar Liverpool position
Liverpool supporters will be able to relate to how Arsenal fans are feeling right now following a third successive draw for Mikel Arteta's men.
We have been involved in dramatic title battles with City in recent years, in which we have fought until the end on two occasions - only to see top spot taken away from us in the cruellest of circumstances. City's win on the final day of last season against Aston Villa was an absolute killer, having been two goals down in the game, but it's what they have in them. They have got a great coach, great players and a great squad that money can buy.
The game between City and Arsenal this week is going to be massive. Arsenal really need the win to give them a lift and an opportunity to go on and win the Premier League, but I just don’t see them doing that as Pep's side have been there, seen it and done it. They have that in their armoury. Arsenal have been brilliant this year and I would like them to go and win it, but I think it’s City's to throw away now.
