Newcastle United could be catapulted towards Premier League top four – BBC Sport pundit

Some interesting comments from this BBC Sport pundit on Newcastle United.

Chris Sutton speaking ahead of Saturday afternoon at Portman Road.

Eddie Howe and his Newcastle United players looking to make it three wins in a row.

Seven goals and two dominant performances overwhelming both Leicester and Brentford this past week.

Chris Sutton talking to BBC Sport – 19 December 2024:

“Maybe I should mention Mr Fields – an Ipswich fan who teaches my daughter – every week so the Tractor Boys stand a better chance of winning?

“It worked for them last week, when they beat Wolves, but I am not sure it will have the same effect this time.

“The strength of the Premier League means the table is so congested at the moment, with only six points separating Nottingham Forest in fourth, and Manchester United in 13th.

“Newcastle are 12th and have been very average at times, but they strike me as being a team who are in a false position, compared to what they are capable of.

“The busy Christmas period could change the look of the table dramatically, and a couple of wins could catapult someone towards the top four.
