Newcastle United have breathed new life into their pursuit of the top four after registering back-to-back victories over Wolves and Nottingham Forest respectively before the international break.
The Magpies sit just two points outside of the top four and also boast two games in hand on fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur.
Eddie Howe will be aiming to become the first Newcastle manager in 20 years to lead them into the Champions League, but the Magpies will have a number of obstacles to overcome in their quest for success.

Manchester United (h)
A victory over Manchester United would send Newcastle back into the top four. The Magpies trail Erik ten Hag's side by three points but would leapfrog them on goal difference with a win.
Newcastle will also have another incentive to beat the Red Devils by avenging their Carabao Cup final defeat at Wembley in February.
Brentford (a)
Brentford have emerged as one of the dark horses in the race for the top four, and are one of the outside favourites for Champions League qualification.
Newcastle will be buoyed by their 5-1 win in the reverse fixture at St James' Park, although the Bees have lost just two of their last 18 Premier League games since.
Tottenham (h)
Newcastle currently sit two points behind Tottenham in the table, but they will be hoping to have closed the gap by the time they welcome Spurs to St James' Park in late April.
The Magpies boast two games in hand over Tottenham, and a win over Spurs could be used as a springboard to achieve a top four finish, with Newcastle facing four of the current bottom eight in their last six fixtures.
Chelsea (a)
The top four battle is poised to go right down to the wire, which could potentially make the final fixture the most important of all. Newcastle will also fancy their chances against a Chelsea side that has been out-of-sorts this season.
