Premier League football will resume to some sort of normality when it kicks off for the 2023-24 campaign. Supporters have had to content with three years of interruptions to the normal schedule as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the World Cup in Qatar.
There are set to be some fixture congestion at the end of the current campaign to make up for lost time after that break. With the Carabao Cup and FA Cup factored into the remaining Premier League and Champions League fixtures.
For Newcastle United, they don't have to worry about the congestion of a European tournament this season, but it remains the target for Eddie Howe and his side to aim for.
