Newcastle's main goal is to get into the top 5 (this guarantees direct entry into the Champions League, as England is number one in the UEFA rankings and will receive an additional ticket) and now they look like favorites in this fight. The game in hand with Crystal Palace, I think it's at least one point, which already allows them to keep Chelsea, Aston Villa and City at a distance. The most positive thing for Newcastle is that, unlike many other teams, they are playing better towards the end of the season rather than experiencing a decline.

Having a game at hand is not a guarantee to make top 4 or 5th position at all because the race between them is very intense as it stands and if you think Crystal Palace is just an easy walkover team then I would say you are wrong. This is the English Premier League where no team can be written off just easily, Newcastle are also not at their best at the moment so the will have to fight hard to win Crystal Palace. We still have about 7 games to play and this matches will be the ones to determine who to make it to the champions league, both Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle have strong games to play and they also have games against themselves so we still a lot of games to determine who would make it.

I wonder if you understand what nonsense you are writing or not? Newcastle have a game in hand against a weak opponent. If they win, they will have a 3-point advantage over 5th place and 4 over 6th. At a distance of 21 points, this is a critical advantage. Who do you think is in a better position - the one who has such an opportunity or the one who hopes not only to win their games but also to wait for the opponents to make mistakes? It is clear that they need to be able to realize their status as favorites, but now Newcastle is clearly in a more advantageous position.

It's inappropriate to tell a person they are writing rubbish just because he doesn't agree with your opinion. I felt bad reading your reply saying I am writing nonsense but I am not gonna retaliate just because of a little football argument but you should know you're wrong.

The three teams fighting for the top 4 spot are both performing averagely with an inconsistent performance. I know they are stronger than Palace and have the home advantage but Crystal Palace is not a team you can write off easily, they have been a problem for most big teams.

Also even if Newcastle wins they still have matches to play and having a 3 point advantage is not much gap to rely on so it doesn't guarantee that the spot is theirs. They have matches to against strong teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Brighton and Aston Villa so do you think they are going to win it all? Among them Manchester City have the easiest fixtures.
