Eddie Howe declares Newcastle United’s Premier League rise unfinished — with Arsenal and Man City still in his sights

06.05.2023 - 00:49 arabnews.com

NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe believes it is his task to ensure Newcastle United catch every team in the Premier League, not just weekend opponents Arsenal.

The Magpies’ faithful are dreaming of the Champions League — they have done for 20 years — and Howe is just seven points away from guaranteeing the club’s return to Europe’s premier competition.

It could, of course, be less, depending on results elsewhere. Despite the Gunners’ remarkable season, they sit just one place and 13 points ahead of Newcastle, having played a game more.

Newcastle are just 14 points off the Premier League summit and Manchester City. Time will run out for United, who have just five games left this campaign, but there’s always next season.
