Eddie Howe: Newcastle boss not ruling out title challenge
Newcastle beat Leicester 3-0 on 26 December, with Chris Wood and Miguel Almiron scoring inside the first seven minutesNewcastle manager Eddie Howe says he is not ruling out his side being Premier League title challengers this season.
Newcastle currently sit third in the Premier League table, two points off Manchester City and seven off league-leaders Arsenal, who both have a game in hand.
"I won't say we can't [win title]," said Howe.
Howe's comments come after Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said Newcastle are "absolutely" in the title race and could emulate the Foxes' 2015-16 Premier League-winning season.
