Bruno Guimaraes was asked if Newcastle United could finish in the top four after beating Everton 1-0 last night.

The Brazilian midfielder laid on Miguel Almiron’s goal which was enough to win the game against Frank Lampard’s men.

The result means the Mapgies sit sixth in the table, sandwiched between Manchester United and Liverpool, two points off Chelsea in 4th.

Speaking to Amazon Prime after the game, Bruno was asked about Newcastle’s chances of finishing in the Champions League slots.

Amazon’s reporter said to the midfielder: “One defeat in 11, is top four a possibility?

He replied: “Yeah it’s a possibility.

“We need to think game by game and in the end we will have a look at what we did.

“It was nice to get another win here.”

European qualification of any kind for Newcastle would be hugely impressive in Eddie Howe’s first full season in charge of the club.

That would put them on their way to making the established top six into a top seven, which is the ultimate ambition of the club.

There are issues at some of the clubs you might expect to make the Champions League, which could open the door for Newcastle.

Their lack of European football could also help in what is a frantic season, and Howe will be chasing progress in the cups as well.
