Newcastle United: 'I've seen enough to see we can compete' - but is Eddie Howe right?

Only one team has stayed up in Newcastle United's situation - and head coach Eddie Howe admits "we need to get that win as quickly as we can" - so can the Magpies survive?

Howe has only been in charge for two of them since replacing the sacked Steve Bruce. He watched last weekend's 3-3 draw with Brentford from his hotel room after contracting Covid-19, but he was at Emirates Stadium to see his side's battling display on Saturday.

One of the richest clubs in the world after their recent £305m Saudi takeover, Newcastle were five points adrift of safety before anybody else played this weekend.
