This is where Newcastle United sit in the Premier League table - based ONLY on Eddie Howe's games in charge
Things are beginning to look up for Newcastle United under Eddie Howe after back-to-back wins in the Premier League.
In November, the 44-year-old became the new Saudi Arabian-led ownership’s first managerial appointment following the sacking of Steve Bruce.
Now 11 games and a January transfer window into the 44-year-old’s reign, hope and optimism is growing that Howe can guide the Magpies to top-flight survival.
A 1-0 win at Leeds United, followed up by Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over Everton at St James’ Park saw United exit the relegation zone for the first time since early October.
Newcastle sit 17th in the table, one point above third bottom Norwich City – but where would United sit based on Howe’s results alone?
Here’s how the Premier League would look if the season started from Howe’s arrival on Tyneside:
