"We don’t want Chelsea to win the Champions League because we want that spot. It would be very harsh if we finished fourth and then missed out.”Newcastle will be chasing their seventh win in a row on Saturday when they travel to relegation-threatened Wigan. The Magpies are three points behind third placed Arsenal with a game in hand.
