Newcastle United have an opportunity to get their 2022-23 campaign off to a flyer against Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park. A dream start sees the Magpies face the team that attained the lowest-placed finish last season on home soil.
Convenient fixture lists are not usually the norm on Tyneside but a balanced schedule next season has gone down favourably with Toon supporters. One hurdle to overcome is clashes against Manchester City and Liverpool in the opening five games, with Newcastle having a disastrous record against both Premier League heavyweights.
Expectations for the upcoming season are varied among supporters following an 11th-placed finish last time out. Some believe top 10 and a cup run should be the aim whereas more optimistic United fans wish to launch an assault on the European positions.
