Gary Neville has predicted on Twitter that Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United will finish fourth in the Premier League table this season.
The former Manchester United defender has said that he has not always felt that Newcastle would end up in the UEFA Champions League places this campaign.
However, it seems that the Sky Sports pundit has changed his mind over Newcastle.
The Magpies are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 56 points from 30 matches.
Newcastle are three points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played 31 games.
Howe’s team are three points behind third-placed Manchester United.

HITC Verdict: Top-four finish possible
In our view, Newcastle United could finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
The Magpies are in a decent run of form, having lost just one of their last six Premier League games.
Yes, Tottenham are pushing hard, but Newcastle have been more consistent than Spurs and are also defensively very mean.
The Magpies have conceded just 24 goals in 30 Premier League matches this season.
Arsenal and Manchester City both have shipped in more goals than Newcastle.
