Newcastle United, Everton, Leeds United and the rest - who has the hardest relegation run-in?

Eddie Howe knows Newcastle United are within touching distance of sealing Premier League safety - but he won’t take any of that for granted.

Because in the eyes of the level-headed Magpies head coach, his side’s battle against relegation isn’t over until it is mathematically impossible.

So with that, there’s still a job to do - starting with the visit of Leicester City to St James’ Park on Easter Sunday (kick-off: 2:15pm).

While survival is firmly in United’s hands - many fans might argue they’re safe now - some may still be checking results below them until their top-flight status is guaranteed.
