The Story in 60 Seconds

Stuart Jamieson of Chronicle Live argues that Newcastle United should target a minimum of seven points from their three Premier League matches in October. Under manager Matthias Jaissle, the Magpies face an away fixture against Frank Lampard's Coventry City, a home clash against Aston Villa, and a trip to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace.

Jamieson expects Newcastle to secure victories against Coventry and an Aston Villa side coming off a midweek European fixture. The writer also suggests a draw or win against Crystal Palace would cap off a successful run ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against Everton.
