Newcastle will have the 34th round of the EPL against Ipswich Town, ranked 18th, who were confirmed to be relegated on the 26th. Howe led Newcastle to the top by beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) final on the 17th of last month. Newcastle quenched their thirst for the first domestic championship in 70 years since winning the FA Cup in 1955.

Including the European competition, it was the first championship in 55 years. Newcastle last won the 1968-1969 Intercity Fairs Cup, one of the predecessors of the UEFA Europa Cup. This is the first time that he has won a league cup following four first-division wins and six FA Cups.

Newcastle received a new owner in August 2021. A consortium led by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund acquired Newcastle for 305 million pounds (about 571 billion won) and is transforming into a strong team. After four seasons, he finally built up his money. Howe took the helm of Newcastle in November 2021, after the owner was changed to Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

There is a busy way to go in the EPL. Newcastle are in fifth place (59 points). EPL cruised in the European competition this season and secured five berths for the European Champions League finals next season. Up to fifth place can win a European Champions League ticket, but it is thin ice. Chelsea and Aston Villa (57 points or more), who are sixth to seventh, have been chasing Newcastle under the chin.

Newcastle have five games left in the EPL this season.
