Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says they must stay grounded over their top four chances.
Newcastle's situation at this time of year is unique and they have not been anywhere close to the top four going into the winter for a decade. S
Howe said: "I think we've had it the other way.
"We had a relegation battle this time last year, and it isn't enjoyable to be a part of. Obviously, the end result was an enjoyable experience because we came out on the right side of it but when you're in it, it's very difficult to enjoy it.
"We're trying to savour what we're doing at the moment and enjoy the process of going into the next game in a healthy position but as we know in football, there are no guarantees. As I said right at the start, things can change very quickly.
"So let's enjoy what we're doing and focus on trying to achieve more in the future."
