Eddie Howe is refusing to get carried away with Newcastle United's solid start to the season.

But Howe - who has never spoken about final positions - has a simple request for his team in the games ahead of the World Cup break. Indeed, the former AFC Bournemouth boss wants to use the first half of the campaign to simply lay foundations for the new year.
