Steve Bruce has been hamstrung by the loss of Callum Wilson but his side remain winless in their first five Premier League matches.
After a lack of summer investment, fears are rising the club will be drawn into a relegation battle once again after years of fighting the drop.
Whilst Newcastle boast lots of attacking talent at the top end of the field, defensively they have been suspect in the opening portion of the campaign.
As a result, the Magpies are tipped for relegation by the bookmakers, as things stand.
Norwich City are firm favourites to go down after a dreadful start to life back in the top-tier, with Burnley also fancied for the drop after seven years in the top-flight.

Southampton, Brentford and Wolves are longer outsiders, with Leeds remaining 10/1 to go down, making them the ninth-favourite.
