Gatecrashing the Premier League top four has always been difficult, but Newcastle United are showing early signs that they might be able to achieve it this season.

A solitary defeat and four wins and a draw in their last five games has Eddie Howe's side flying high, while Sunday's 2-1 win at Tottenham made a statement and moved them up to fourth in the table.

It certainly helps Newcastle's cause that some of their top four rivals are struggling, none more so than Liverpool, who contested the first match of the weekend on Saturday afternoon and fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to bottom side Nottingham Forest.

That was followed by two matches on the traditional Saturday kick-off as champions Manchester City bounced back from last weekend's defeat to Liverpool to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1, and Everton eased past Crystal Palace 3-0 at Goodison Park.

Saturday evening's game also did Newcastle some favours as Chelsea and Manchester United shared the points at Stamford Bridge with a 1-1 draw.

Sunday's fixtures began with Aston Villa swiftly moving on from Steven Gerrard with a thumping 4-0 win over Brentford, Fulham fighting back to beat Leeds United 3-2 at Elland Road, leaders Arsenal being held to a 1-1 draw at Southampton, and Leicester City earning successive wins with a 4-0 victory at Wolves.

Newcastle's win at Tottenham then rounded off Sunday's games, before West Ham beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Monday night to conclude the round.

After a weekend packed with fine individual performances, Jon Turner has selected his Premier League team of the week in the photo gallery above. To move on to the next photo, click on the arrows or if using a mobile device, simply swipe.

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.
