Newcastle United are still behind Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in the bookmakers' favourites to finish in the top four, despite leading all three clubs in the table.
Eddie Howe's side have enjoyed an impressive start to the season - losing just one of their first 15 Premier League matches. They signed off for the World Cup with five straight league victories and a further seven wins from their last eight games in the English top-flight.
The Magpies are currently 11/8 with Bet365 to finish in the top four, and 1/4 with the same betting organisation to make the top six.
