February 23rd

Manchester United vs. Watford

  • The best outcome here would be a win for Manchester United. Of the teams in the bottom three, Watford are the most dangerous as they are finally finding their form again. A win for the Red Devils would at least help the Magpies stay seven points clear of the Hornets entering the final week of the month.

Liverpool vs. West Ham

  • The best outcome here would be a win for Liverpool. Another loss for West Ham would see them stay in the relegation zone with 24 points. The last thing Newcastle United need is a shock victory for West Ham against the best team in Europe that would see them ride a big wave of confidence over the next few weeks. Fortunately for the Toon, four of West Ham’s next five opponents consist of Arsenal, Wolverhampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.

Final Note

At least four points from the games against Arsenal and Crystal Palace would serve as a major boost for Newcastle United, especially if the outcomes listed throughout this article actually happen. Regardless of how the Magpies perform against the Gunners and the Eagles, one thing that would significantly benefit Steve Bruce’s side are negative results for Brighton, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, West Ham and Watford. The Premier League is one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world, so we shall see how things play out over the next nine days starting tomorrow.
