Newcastle United’s quest for European qualification remains in their own hands — but two massive away fixtures will determine their destiny.
Eddie Howe’s side are sixth, above Chelsea on goal difference and three points ahead of Manchester United, before trips to Old Trafford on Wednesday and Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
While Newcastle’s vastly superior goal difference is acting as a buffer, their mediocre form on the road means securing six points from these last two games is going to be a significant challenge.
But just how important is returning to continental competition for Newcastle’s transfer plans, both in terms of keeping players and attracting signings? Was Bruno Guimaraes’ reaction at full-time on Saturday a sign that the Brazilian’s time on Tyneside is drawing to a close? Did Callum Wilson’s absence against Brighton provide further evidence he should be sold this summer? Will any of Nick Pope, Joelinton, Miguel Almiron and Kieran Trippier return to the starting XI against Manchester United?
Post your Newcastle-related questions below and Chris Waugh will endeavour to answer as many as possible between 2pm and 3pm BST.
