Newcastle still maintain a stable form this season when they are in the top 3 of the English Premier League and go to the final of the English League Cup. This is a worthy achievement when the Northeastern English team has made quality investments in the last two transfer periods.

This weekend, coach Howe's teachers and students return to their home ground to face West Ham and this is likely to be a match that will continue to have all 3 points, thereby firmly establishing the 3rd position in the rankings.

After 20 rounds, the sledgehammer only won 5, drew 3 and lost 12 times (the second most losing in the tournament), then ranked in 16th place and 1 point better than the group holding the red light.
