Eddie Howe has warned how difficult it will be for Newcastle United to break into the Premier League's top six this season.
Only Liverpool are missing from the sides that finished in the top six last term and it is Newcastle who have replaced them for now in the top-flight. But after the Reds made an indifferent start to the campaign, with just two wins from their opening eight matches, Howe expects them to soon rejoin Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at the business end of the table.
Newcastle head to Old Trafford to face Man United today and need a positive result to keep their top six place. Howe is aiming to make it five matches unbeaten.
