Eddie Howe says that Newcastle United players know they have to match the increased expectations around the club next season after qualifying for the Champions League a year ahead of schedule.
The Toon head coach will be guaranteed fourth spot regardless of what happens at Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. But he admits that he hasn't exactly been looking forward to next season, because he is focused on the future dynamics around the club.
When asked if he was able to look forward to the Champions League, Howe said: "I don't know if it's something you look forward to - the dynamic will have changed for us. I think we've massively overachieved this year for where we were at the start of the season, and to keep overachieving - and that's what we're going to have to do, to match the expectation - is going to be our biggest challenge."
