I don’t worry about Newcastle United – Clinton Morrison Champions League stance | OneFootball

Clinton Morrison has been discussing Champions League and especially, the chances of Newcastle United qualifying.

The top five in the Premier League will make it and at the moment it looks like five clubs fighting for three places, to join Liverpool and Arsenal.

Clinton Morrison declaring; “I don’t worry about Newcastle, I think they will get into the Champions League.”

The late goal at Brighton means that Newcastle will be in fourth place when they face Chelsea next Sunday, NUFC’s third last match of the season.

Things could look even better if Clinton Morrison’s former club Crystal Palace can do Newcastle United and the other Champions League challengers a favour, as they host a Forest side who have lost four of their last five matches, including three of the last four in the Premier League.

Palace haven’t lost at home in any competition since 15 February 2025 and they have only lost two of their last twelve games home or away, losing to Man City and Newcastle United within four days of each other in April away from home.

Clinton Morrison speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast about Sunday’s match at the Amex Stadium and Newcastle United’s chances of Champions League qualification:

“Going to Brighton is a hugely difficult game.

“Newcastle didn’t play well but they got the penalty at the end.

“They kept going and that could be a crucial point.

“I still think it is Newcastle’s to lose [when it comes to finishing in a Champions League spot].

“I don’t worry about Newcastle, I think they will get into the Champions League.

“I look at their run of games and there are some tough ones in there, but at home they are fantastic in front of their fans, that is like having a 12th man.

“One player they did miss was Joelinton to break up the midfield and with his powerful running and the defensive work he does.
