The Magpies have won just one of their 20 Premier League matches so far this season and sit 19th in the table on 12 points.
Eddie Howe’s side faced relegation rivals Watford at St James’s Park on Saturday and took the lead in the second half through Allan Saint-Maximin only for Joao Pedro to equalise in the 87th minute.
