Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes Newcastle United are already Premier League title contenders this season. While they sat inside the relegation zone this time last year, the Magpies now currently sit fourth in the Premier League and are enjoying an excellent run of form under Eddie Howe.
With just two games to play until the enforced November break for the World Cup in Qatar, there is a real chance Newcastle could resume their campaign in the Champions League places. Newcastle have already faced off against Manchester City earlier this season at St James' Park, with the two sides playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw.
And speaking ahead of City's Saturday afternoon clash against Fulham, Guardiola revealed he believes Newcastle are Premier League title contenders, going further to praise the work Howe and his backroom team have done since they arrived in November 2021.
