After starting the Premier League campaign without a win in any of their opening 14 matches, The Magpies have turned their season around and got out of the relegation dog fight with time to spare.
Going into the final seven matches of the campaign, Eddie Howe’s side sit 10 points clear of the bottom three. Barring a spectacular collapse and run of results from the sides below them, Newcastle can somewhat comfortably expect to be playing Premier League football next season.
