Rafael Benitez’s side are 13th in the Premier League
Matt Ritchie scored a late goal against Bournemouth on Saturday to rescue a point for Newcastle.
They moved onto 35 points from 31 games and are currently 13th in the table.

They will no doubt be hoping for a similar finish to last season.
The Magpies went on to take nine points from their final seven games as they finished 10th.

They ended the campaign with 12 wins, eight draws, 18 defeats, 39 goals scored and 47 conceded.
The priority for Benitez, though, is securing their Premier League survival and he feels that one more win will do it.
