Newcastle United have endured a slow start to the season, but where will they finish in the Premier League according to AI predictions?

Newcastle United have made a poor start to the Premier League season, but there’s still plenty of time to put things right.

The Magpies have lost their last two league matches, away in London at West Ham and Brentford, both by 3-1 scorelines. That leaves them 14th in the table after 11 games, with just 12 points and three wins on the board.

But Newcastle have had major fixture congestion to deal with due to Champions League and EFL Cup commitments, while they’ve also been contending with injuries to the likes of Tino Livramento, Joelinton and summer arrival Yoane Wissa.

Eddie Howe should have many players back available to him soon enough, while the upcoming January transfer window will offer another opportunity to strengthen his squad.

With that in mind, we’ve asked X’s AI chatbot, Grok, to predict the final 2025/26 Premier League table to see where Newcastle could end up.

AI predicts major Newcastle United resurgence

Grok on Newcastle United: “After a dismal start (12 points from 11), Newcastle’s season hinges on a mid-campaign reset. Yoane Wissa’s return post-injury adds a £55m cutting edge up top, complementing fellow summer signing Nick Woltemade and winger Anthony Gordon. Eddie Howe’s side boasts one of the league’s deepest squads—Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Sven Botman, and a robust bench—and Saudi-backed January spending could secure a top right-winger or centre-back. Early woes stemmed from Europe-induced fatigue and a brutal fixture list, but underlying metrics (xG, shots on target) remain top-six level. A kinder run-in and full fitness should spark a 15-game unbeaten streak, pushing them past Manchester United and into Europa League contention. Not title challengers, but too talented to stay mid-table. AI sees 68 points—respectable recovery, realistic ceiling.”

Grok on the rest of the predicted Premier League table: “Arsenal (84 pts) hold off Manchester City (81) in a tense title race built on defensive solidity and Saka-Gyokeres firepower. Liverpool (78) secure third, with their revamped attack now revolving around summer blockbuster Alexander Isak as the focal point, superbly supported by Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and the emerging generation. Chelsea (73) lock down fourth, Todd Boehly’s endless spending finally delivering consistency.

“The Europa League scrap goes down to the wire: Tottenham (70) edge Newcastle (68) and a resurgent Manchester United (66), whose January additions fall just short. Aston Villa slip to eighth as fixture congestion bites.

“At the bottom, Wolves are already cut adrift on 29 points. Nottingham Forest and Burnley join them in the drop, while Leeds survive by a whisker. Sunderland’s fairy-tale fades to a safe 13th—proof that momentum alone can’t outrun squad depth over 38 games.”
