Newcastle United return from the international break knowing that the race for a top 4 finish is very much in their hands. With two games in hand on Tottenham in fourth, Eddie Howe's Magpies stand an excellent chance of securing Champions League football for next season.
United face three of the teams - Brighton, Brentford, and Tottenham - deemed to be in the race for that fourth spot, and also clash with Manchester United this coming Sunday. Yet Howe will know his squad have nothing to fear - especially given the fact they've already faced those four teams already this season in the Premier League and didn't lose a single game.
That said, Howe won't be resting on his laurels and will know that the challenge to secure top 4 football will be one of the biggest of his career. While Howe takes it one game at a time, we've launched our league table predictor to see how the season will end.
