We react to Eddie Howe’s appointment at Newcastle while the likes of Mikel Arteta, David Moyes and Maxwel Cornet are put under the microscope.
Howe will he do?
Newcastle finally ended their search for Steve Bruce’s replacement by confirming the appointment of Howe on a two-and-a-half-year deal yesterday.
The ex-Bournemouth boss will be tasked with guiding troubled Toon away from the Premier League relegation zone as quickly as possible, with nine games still to come before they can bring in January reinforcements.
We have taken a closer look at the task that lies in front of Howe on Tyneside and what we can expect to see from Newcastle under his tutelage.
Premier League focus
With a two-week hiatus in the English top flight, now is the perfect time to put some of the division’s most impressive performers in the spotlight.
Unquestionably the story of the season so far has been West Ham’s outstanding start, with Moyes’ Hammers sitting just three points off the Premier League summit after 11 matches.
Also through to the Europa League knockout stage and the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, how much longer can the good times keep on rolling in East London?
Another club from the capital enjoying a fine run of form are Arsenal with Arteta having really turned things around at the Emirates after a tough start.
The Gunners are on a 10-game unbeaten run in all competitions and are breathing down the necks of the top four — we look at the factors behind their fine form.
At the other end of the table, Burnley may only have one win from their 11 games but have an extremely impressive performer in the form of Cornet.
With four goals in his opening six Premier League appearances, the Ivorian will be catching admiring glances from some of Europe’s biggest sides if he continues his red-hot form much longer.
As well as all of the above, we have picked out our three big hits and misses from the 2021-22 Premier League campaign so far — be sure to check out if your team features.
