da imperador bet： After a difficult summer when rumours surrounding Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United future, things are looking up for the Magpies.
da wazamba： Club owner Mike Ashley, who has had his critics within the fanbase, has decided to sell the North-East outfit.
While that process is ongoing, matters on the pitch have also looked up given that the team are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches.
Benitez’s men restricted Liverpool to a draw and also took a point from Southampton, while the visit of Crystal Palace to St James’ Park last weekend ended in a 1-0 win.
As it stands, the Magpies are seventh in the table, two points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.
On Monday night, they take on Burnley at Turf Moor, against a side that head into the game on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes that Newcastle will get the job done away from home by sealing a 2-1 victory.
“I haven’t gone for Newcastle to win once this season but that changes today! Burnley’s home form has been a little shaky and Newcastle are on a roll.
“They did well against Southampton and the Palace win was big for them. They are punching well above their weight – if they finish sixth Rafa Benitez will be manager of the season.
“The name of the game remains safety and hopefully for Newcastle fans their club will be in a position in January to have a real go in the FA Cup. That would be brilliant.”
