Eddie Howe’s Newcastle gunning for Chelsea to keep Premier League spot

arabnews.com

NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe has revealed Newcastle United are gunning for Chelsea as they look to sign off the first half of an impressive Premier League season in style.

Howe’s front foot approach, which has been a refreshing change on Tyneside, is a far cry from the last time the Blues visited Tyneside.

Just weeks after the takeover by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and pre-dating Howe’s term at the helm, United surrendered to a Thomas Tuchel-led Chelsea outfit 3-0.

With current assistant coach Graeme Jones in caretaker charge, Newcastle were dominated from start to finish, much to the anguish of success-starved United fans.
