Newcastle United fans deliver exciting verdict ahead of crucial games with Aston Villa, Everton & Co

Beginning with a clash against Unai Emery’s in-form Aston Villa side on Saturday, the Magpies then host Tottenham Hotspur in a real Champions League shootout on Sunday, April 23. Following this game, Howe’s side then make the trip to face Everton at Goodison Park on Thursday, April 27 before the month is rounded-off with a game against Southampton at St James’ Park.

It could prove to be a crucial quartet of games with Newcastle set to have a huge role in how both the top and bottom of the table looks when the season concludes on May 28. Ahead of these four crucial fixtures, we asked Newcastle United fans how many points they believe their side will take from their remaining games in April - and it’s clear that an overwhelming feeling of positivity has engulfed the fan base.

With 12 points on offer, the majority of fans that responded believe the Magpies are capable of picking up at least 10 points from their next four outings, although one game in particular has been highlighted as a potential banana skin. This is how Newcastle United fans reacted to our question posted on Twitter and Facebook:
