Eddie Howe record at St James’ Park against Premier League Big Six – Interesting | OneFootball

How have Eddie Howe and Newcastle United fared against the Premier League Big Six?

The NUFC boss coming up to his third anniversary at St James’ Park, having been announced on 8 November 2021.

The question and answer of special interest.

As before Eddie Howe reaches that third anniversary, he faces two of these Premier League Big Six at St James’ Park.

Chelsea in the League Cup on Wednesday night, then Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

Fair to say that the mood could be better, with the only win in the last six NUFC matches having been the one against League Two AFC Wimbledon.

However, are the Newcastle United fans predicting no chance of success in these next two matches, actually on the money?

Since Eddie Howe took over on 8 November 2021, Newcastle United have played 19 matches (all competitions) at St James’ Park against the Premier League Big Six clubs, these have been the results:

Newcastle v Man City – Played 5 Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 2

Newcastle v Man U – Played 3 Won 2 Drawn 1 Lost 0

Newcastle v Liverpool – Played 3 Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 3

Newcastle v Tottenham – Played 3 Won 3 Drawn 0 Lost 0

Newcastle v Chelsea – Played 2 Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 0

Newcastle v Arsenal – Played 3 Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 1

Newcastle v Premier League Big Six – Played 19 Won 10 Drawn 3 Lost 6

Conclusions?

If you take out the results against bogey side Liverpool it becomes played 16, with 10 wins and only three defeats.

Whilst if you only take the results against Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, you get played 11 and won nine, one draw and just the one defeat!

At home against Arsenal and Chelsea, the Eddie Howe Newcastle United record stands at four wins and one defeat at St James’ Park.

Whilst victory tonight would make it three out of three against Chelsea at home for Eddie Howe.

Nobody pretends these next two Newcastle United matches will be easy, however, plenty of positives can be taken from these last three years overall under Eddie Howe.

Indeed, that cruel 1-0 defeat to Brighton, was the first St James’ Park defeat against anybody for over nine months.
