Newcastle United face a difficult schedule during Christmas period, with December trips to Leicester (11) and Liverpool (15) before facing champions Manchester City (18) and Manchester United on Boxing Day

Newcastle United will welcome West Ham to St James' Park in their opening fixture of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign on August 15, live on Sky Sports.
Steve Bruce's side have avoided any of the top six in the opening month of the season, with a trip to Aston Villa (August 21) before facing Southampton at home (August 28).
The Christmas period is the most worrying for Newcastle fans though, with December trips to Leicester (11) and Liverpool (15) before facing champions Manchester City (18) and Manchester United on Boxing Day.
The final run-in also appears tough, with Newcastle playing Liverpool at home on April 30, Manchester City away on May 7 and Arsenal at home on May 15 - before a final day trip to Burnley on May 22.
