Pep Guardiola insists Newcastle United will be fighting for the Premier League title in just a few years time. The Magpies were beaten by the Spaniard's Manchester City on Saturday despite a spirited performance at the Etihad Stadium.
Eddie Howe's side are now facing a fight to stay in the hunt for a top-four spot after a shaky run of form since mid-January. Saturday's loss was the third on the spin for Newcastle, who now head into two crucial games with Wolves and Nottingham Forest before the end of March.
The nerves are beginning to show among sections of the St James' Park faithful but Guardiola's comments are a timely reminder that Newcastle are still only at the start of their journey, with the future certainly looking bright on Tyneside.
