The Toon are in real danger of relegation after a terrible run of form.
Newcastle United look to be in a straight shoot-out with Hull City for the final relegation place in the Premier League. QPR and Burnley are already down but an absolutely awful run of form from Newcastle has seen them drop to their current standing.
Going into the final two games of the season the Toon are one place outside the relegation zone, just two points ahead of Hull going into the final two games of the season.
Newcastle’s dreadful run has seen them lose eight games out of their last nine fixtures and if it continues, they are seriously at threat of dropping into the Championship next season.
One former Newcastle striker has now had his say on the Premier League finale.
Retired Danish forward Peter Lovenkrands spent three-and-a-half years at St James Park over two separate spells on the North East.
He was part of the Newcastle United team that was relegated from the Premier League in 2009-10 and he is now telling the current crop to ‘step up’ to the plate this time around.
Newcastle face QPR and West Ham in their final two games of the season, with survival in the Premier League at stake.
