Eddie Howe’s Newcastle are sitting third and part of the Premier League top-four race
Well, no one saw this coming. Perhaps we saw it coming but just ignored it. A lot has been said about how certain teams tend to have a flying start only to break the pot at the doorway. Will this be the case for Arsenal and Newcastle?
A Look at the Top Four Race…
With 16 games played and 30 points earned, Tottenham Hotspur sits at the Fourth spot on the EPL table. Around four teams are eying the same spot enviously.
These teams include Manchester United ( 29 Points) – 5 positions, Liverpool FC (25 points) – 6 positions, Brighton and Hove Albion ( 24 points) – 7 positions, and finally Chelsea ( 24 points) – 8 positions.
The bad news for Tottenham is that all these teams have played one game less than them. However, as has been already seen, Football is unpredictable. Having a game in hand doesn’t necessarily mean a win.
The trio of Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are among the historical premier League “ Big Six “ clubs. By virtue of this name, these clubs are expected to be among the leaders. They are at times looked at as the designated holders of the top four champions League spots.
