The Magpies were denied all three points against Watford on Saturday afternoon when Joao Pedro’s 88th minute equaliser secured a 1-1 draw for the Hornets.
That result left Eddie Howe’s men 19th in the table, two points adrift of safety, and the Toon Army will be hoping for a better result when they travel to face Leeds this weekend.
For their part, the Whites picked up a hugely impressive 3-2 win over high-flying West Ham last time out, with Jack Harrison scoring a hat-trick to wrap up the points.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men are currently nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Elsewhere in the top flight this week, Watford and Norwich City square-off in a clash that could have significant ramifications at the foot of the table, Manchester United come up against Brentford and West Ham in quick succession, and there’s a mouth-watering London derby on offer as Chelsea host Tottenham.
But who is likely come out on top in those matches, and the rest of the Premier League’s busy fixture schedule?
