Revealed: When Newcastle United could play their remaining NINE Premier League fixtures under new FA plans

We take a look at the plan reportedly being considered by the FA, and what it could mean for Newcastle:

What are the FA’s plans?

According to the Telegraph, the FA are looking to resume the 2019/20 season during the first week of June and are targeting a completion date of July 11.

There is the possibility that some of the final games of the current season could be played behind closed doors in order to ensure fixtures are completed.

How many fixtures do Newcastle have left in 2019/20?

Newcastle have ten fixtures left to play this season.

Seven of those have already been postponed, with the games against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton also likely to be suspended.

Of the ten games left to rearrange, nine come in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup – with the FA Cup quarter final with Manchester City still set to be played.

When could these fixtures be played?.

Given the parameters the FA are reportedly considering, it’s likely that fixtures would be played on the following dates should this suggested plan be implemented:

- Saturday June 6

- Saturday June 13

- Saturday June 20

- Saturday June 27

- Saturday July 4

- Saturday July 11

Naturally, though, there will need to be games played in midweek in order to ensure all fixtures are completed. The following midweek windows would be available:

- June 9/10

- June 16/17

- June 23/24

- June 30/ July 1

- July 7/8

Newcastle, therefore, are likely to play on at least FOUR of these midweek dates in order to fulfil all of their remaining fixtures.

Of course, there is no guarantee this plan will be the one pursued by the FA.

Will the fixtures definitely be played?

The desire of the Premier League is to see the season completed, with clubs unanimously backing that decision.

But it has frequently been said that nothing – including declaring the campaign null and void – is off the table.
