Manchester United cult hero Teddy Sheringham has tipped Newcastle United to beat the Red Devils to a Champions League spot. Eddie Howe's side currently sit in the table after recording their sixth win in seven matches with a comfortable victory at Southampton.
The Magpies only blemish in an otherwise perfect October was a goalless draw at Old Trafford, and this was followed by victory over Everton and a statement success at Tottenham. Newcastle hold a four-point lead over the Red Devils, although Erik ten Hag's side do hold a game in hand.
Sheringham is confident the Magpies can maintain their momentum and earn a place in next season's Champions League. The former England international has praised Howe for signing players that 'work best for his team', rather than going for the 'best players'.
