Howe urges Newcastle to fulfil Champions League expectation
London (AFP) – Eddie Howe has challenged Newcastle to meet his expectations by qualifying for the Champions League.
Howe’s side sit fourth in the Premier League with three games left to secure the top five finish that guarantees a place in Europe’s elite club competition.
Newcastle can take a major step towards that target with a win against fifth-placed Chelsea at St James’ Park on Sunday.
The Magpies are ahead of Chelsea only by virtue of goals scored, with Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa also engaged in the scrap for a top five place.
Some Newcastle fans might already be satisfied with the season after winning the League Cup final against Liverpool to end the club’s 56-year trophy drought.
