Newcastle boss Eddie Howe insists they have plenty to play for this season.
The Magpies are still in the FA Cup, but are struggling to stay in touch with the top four.
But Howe said: "We are absolutely committed to getting our Premier League form back to a consistent vein of form.
"We are still very committed to finishing as high as we can in the league. We are desperate to do well, I see that in the players every day. The FA Cup is still a realistic target for us, we have a difficult game next, but I still believe we can do really well in that competition.
"Still plenty to be positive about."
