Newcastle United continued their impressive start to the Premier League season in October. The Magpies dismantled Aston Villa at St. James' Park in their most recent outing, a side that was full of confidence prior to the game after a similar scoreline against Brentford.
Eddie Howe's side have shown a ruthlessness in front of goal this season, whilst also boasting the best defence in the Premier League - a far cry away from this time 12 months ago. Newcastle took 16 points from a possible 18 last month as people start to sit up and take note of the Magpies.
That looks even more impressive when you take into account two of those games were against Manchester United - who have turned the corner under Erik ten Hag - and previously unbeaten at home, Tottenham Hotspur. The black and white faithful have seen their side surpass expectations so far this season, with the majority hopeful of a top-half finish at most.
