Can Steve Bruce and Co maintain their momentum? Predict Newcastle's Christmas run-in

A haul of seven points from the last four games has seen Newcastle United climb up the Premier League table and away from the relegation zone.

The question is, can they maintain that form as we head into the Christmas schedule.

Steve Bruce's side hit rock-bottom in the 5-0 defeat at Leicester at the end of September, but since then have galvanised as unit to pick up wins over Manchester United, West Ham and Bournemouth.

There is, of course, a long way to go before they can put the threat of relegation behind them and, while they are currently just two points from fifth place, a tight Premier League table means fluctuations in form will result in dramatic changes in league position.

We've compiled all the United's fixtures up to Christmas - up to and including the St James' Park clash with Crystal Palace on December 21 - to see where the Magpies will lie ahead of the festive schedule.

There are some tricky tests along the way - not least Manchester City at home - as Bruce and Co look to consolidate their position.

Use our Premier League predictor above to see where you think Newcastle will be come Christmas Day, and how the Premier League will shape up ahead of the January transfer window.
