Newcastle victory today will grant them place in champions leagues Next season
Come close of play today, Newcastle United will know whether they are dining at Europe’s top table again.
For Newcastle, the task appears pretty simple. Beat Everton at St James’ Park and Champions League football will be returning to St James’ Park for the second time in three seasons.
But David Moyes’ side are no mugs, something Howe was keen to highlight at his Friday press conference. Anything less than three points will force the Magpies to rely on results going in their favour elsewhere.
Newcastle sit fourth in the table on goal difference, level on 66 points with fifth place Chelsea and sixth place Villa, while Forest are seventh on 65 points.
Villa face Manchester United away this afternoon while Forest and Chelsea go against each other directly at the City Ground.
