Newcastle United are already beyond the schedule many expected following the club's takeover in October 2021. Eddie Howe's first full season in charge ended with a fourth-placed finish as well as a first appearance in a domestic cup final at Wembley for 24 years.
Having secured a place in the Champions League next season, the expectations on Tyneside will likely shift as the Magpies prepare for their first European campaign in a decade. Howe has stressed the need to prioritise 'elite' signings in the summer transfer window, with a clear need to bolster the squad.
Here is a look at how the bookmakers' rank Newcastle's prospects in the Premier League in the 2023/24 season, courtesy of bet365.
