The 2023/24 season will also see the Premier League return to it's normal schedule following the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 World Cup.

Newcastle sit third heading into the upcoming World Cup break, and are guaranteed to be in one of the four Champions League spots even if they lose to Chelsea on Saturday at St James' Park.
