Newcastle, remaining in seventh position, start the new season at home against newcomer Southampton. The Magpies were one of the strongest home sides in the league, scoring 49 goals for 12 wins. To date, injuries have once again plagued manager Eddie Howe, but the key pieces are in place. The Saints did win the Championship play-off, but I don’t think the class of the team will be enough for a good start in the Premier League.
