The race for Europe – Huge weekend for Newcastle as PL fixtures create big opportunity

It feels like a massive weekend in Newcastle’s pursuit of a European finish and a big chance for Eddie Howe’s Mags to capitalise.

It’s vital we get the business done against Fulham – a team we’ve beaten twice already this season – but fixtures elsehwere are well worth a look.

6th place Man Utd – currently four points ahead of us – take on Liverpool on Sunday. 7th place West Ham travel to 11th place Wolves, so someone in the hunt for a top seven finish is going to drop points there. 9th place Brighton – currently one point behind us – face a tough home game against Arsenal and Chelsea travel to bottom of the table Sheffield United after their 4-3 win over Man Utd left them just one point behind us.

Fulham have lost to Nottingham Forest and drew 3-3 at Sheffield United in their last two league games. They are usually strong at home, but a win at Craven Cottage could be huge given several of our Europe-chasing rivals could drop points this weekend.
