Newcastle could have entered the Europa Conference League if Manchester City had defeated Manchester United at the 2024 FA Cup final. However, due to the Red Devils who finished eighth in the Premier League; one spot below Newcastle beating the Citizens, Manchester United got the Europa League spot. Chelsea dropped to the Conference League and the Magpies were left empty-handed.
A series of offseason events have also threatened to disrupt Newcastle’s plans for the new season. From Amanda Staveley departing to Howe being linked with an England Job. But Newcastle shone in preseason with five wins from a possible six, the loss being a 2-0 defeat to Yokohama F. Marinos. Furthermore, the Magpies scored in each of their 19 Premier League home matches last season.

Southampton jubilated for winning the most profitable match in football under the arch, getting promoted ahead of a devastated Leeds United. They join Leicester City and Ipswich Town in the top division. Adam Armstrong’s 24th goal of the season separated The Whites and the Saints, as Rusell Martin got his Premier League flowers.
Ahead of their quick return to top-flight, Southampton have tested their strength against a number of international opponents in the pre-season. They have defeated Bordeaux and Montpellier HSC and held Lazio and Getafe to draws. However, the Saints have only won in two of their last 24 gameweek one scraps in the top flight and have lost 5 times to Newcastle.
