Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville disagreed about Newcastle United's top-four chances this season with the Magpies sitting fourth at the time of writing. Eddie Howe and his men have defied any pre-season expectations and are on course for European football next season as things stand.
Former Liverpool defender, Carragher, feels the Magpies have been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season and says Howe is in with a shout at being manager of the season. The Magpies head coach has transformed the Toon from relegation certainties into European contenders.
At the halfway point in the campaign, Newcastle have lost just once in the Premier League and are yet to lose to any of their immediate top-four rivals.
