Newcastle United actually have a quiet March in terms of the number of games we’ll play, but it promises to be a massive weeks weeks in the league and cup.
We start with a trip to West Ham on Monday, where we’ll be looking to keep our top five hopes alive with a win, then travel to Wembley later that week to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final a week tomorrow.
After that comes an international break and a blank weekend while others compete in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, but a busy April follows, featuring six games; three of which have been selected for TV coverage.
With broadcasters such as Sky Sports and TNT Sports confirming their televised games across March and April, Newcastle schedule over the next two months is now locked in.
Here’s what the next seven weeks look like for Eddie Howe’s Mags, featuring eight games, five on TV, an international break and a blank weekend following our FA Cup exit last Sunday:
