Newcastle v Leeds (Wed, 20:15)

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on links to the Manchester United job: “Nothing has changed. I am 100% here, working as hard as I can, head down, ignoring all the
stuff that you guys write good or bad because it’s irrelevant.

“It’s about today’s work and trying to prepare the team as well as we can for
Leeds, so that will never change from my perspective, my commitment to my work
and my job.

“As long as I’m happy and able to express myself in the best way that I can to
help the team, nothing will change.”

Asked if there was anything which could tempt him away from St James’, he
replied:
“No, not at this current time.

“The most important thing for me is happiness in the role, happiness in the
job, the relationships I have with the people around me. Now, that’s not always
been consistently good and things can change at any football club.

“But, at the moment, I am very happy.”
