Newcastle boss Eddie Howe's vision should worry Everton and it might be about to come true

Eddie Howe has vowed the 'only thing' he is visualising is Newcastle United putting in a performance at Everton - not the Magpies playing in the Champions League next season.

With just seven games to go, Newcastle are edging ever closer to returning to Europe's top table for the first time since 2003. Newcastle are currently six points clear of Spurs in third place after hammering their supposed rivals 6-1 at St James' Park at the weekend.

It was a result that cost interim boss Cristian Stellini his job and it will fall to another caretaker, Ryan Mason, to somehow try and pick these Spurs players up at a time when Newcastle also have a game in hand and a superior goal difference. Whatever about the table, there is also a palpable determination within the group to finish the job and Kieran Trippier has spoken of how 'we shouldn't be scared to say we want to play Champions League football'.
