After picking up just two points from their first five games, Newcastle currently find themselves in the relegation zone.
A 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Friday night did little to alleviate relegation fears around St James’s Park as chants against Steve Bruce were heard once again.
Only Burnley and Norwich City are below Bruce’s side who travel to Watford on Saturday in a clash which, even in September, could be deemed as a ‘relegation six-pointer’.
Here, we have listed the thirteen sides BetVictor think are in the most danger of being relegated in May and there are a couple of surprise names involved.
Do you agree with their odds? Do you think Newcastle are in the correct place?
