Newcastle United's next six Premier League fixtures compared to their top four rivals

After their heavy loss to Aston Villa over the weekend, Newcastle United might be starting to get a little bit of vertigo as they try and secure their spot in the Premier League's top four.

Despite currently sitting in fourth, still three points clear of Christian Stellini's Tottenham who are in fifth, the defeat to Unai Emery's side over the weekend made sure that the Magpies will have to perform to their best for the rest of the season.

Fortunately, a 95th-minute Bournemouth winner over Spurs made sure that gap didn't close any more, leaving this weekend's clash between the two sides marked up as a potential season-defining moment.
