Newcastle United salvaged a last gasp point against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League – and here’s where AI thinks they’ll finish the season.
It’s the business end of the season and Newcastle United are again in a battle – for the third season in a row – to decide their European fate.
Two years ago it was a Champions League battle, with a return to the competition for the first time in two decades on the line. As we all know it had a happy ending. Last season was the opposite. After some top flight struggles the Magpies looked like they’d managed to squeeze into the UEFA Conference League for this season, only for Manchester United to claim a Europa League spot, despite finishing outside the top seven, thanks to their FA Cup triumph. The Magpies ended empty-handed, but every cloud, given the freedom to compete – and win – the Carabao Cup this campaign.
This season, Newcastle already have a Euro spot in the bag, but it’s just a case of which competition they’ll grace? Will it be a top five Champions League spot and the untold riches and transformation the competition would undoubtedly bring? Will it be another dalliance with the Europa League, not tackled since the days of Alan Pardew & Co? Or will it be the Conference League this time? Although very winnable, that’s the wooden spoon few, particularly the bean counters, want at St James’ Park next season.
At the close of play on Sunday, the Magpies are fourth in the Premier League table, but could drop down by the next time they play – next Sunday at home to rivals Chelsea. So we asked Grok, X’s AI tool, where each of the 20 Premier League teams would finish this season, with just three games left to play. And here’s where it thinks the Magpies will end their campaign.

When it comes to predicting what that final Premier League table will look like after the 38th round of fixtures in May 2025, Opta have done some updated analysis after Newcastle’s win over Palace, reassessing how things are forecasted to turn out.
Using their latest data simulations, Opta analysis has shown this as the most likely 2024/25 Premier League table come the end of the season – Predicted final table as at 18 April 2025:
Opta predicted final PL table 18 April 2025
As you can see, a massive change now, with United in such a strong position thanks to their ongoing excellent form. Form that has put them third in the current PL table and Opta now seeing Eddie Howe’s side finishing the season so strongly.
Newcastle United now predicted by the Opta model to end the season in third place on 68 points (68.95, so just a minimal amount off predicted to have 69 points), seven points behind Arsenal.
With Man City and Forest predicted to be the other two Champions League qualifiers, both forecast to finish two points behind United.
Villa then forecasted to end up sixth on 63 points, five behind Newcastle United.
Every game is huge at this stage of the season but if United can make it seven wins in a row (six in the league) against Villa on Saturday, they will remain third in the table and all teams only having five PL matches to play.
United’s rivals for Champions League qualifying have some potentially tough away matches as well. Chelsea away at Fulham, Man City at Everton, Forest at Spurs.
