Eddie Howe’s side are currently eight unbeaten in the Premier League and have moved from 20th in the table and without a win to 14th and seven points clear of the bottom three with 12 games remaining.
After failing to win any of their opening 14 games of the league season, Newcastle were one of the clear favourites to be relegated at 1/2 with Betfair. That was justified as no side has ever survived in the Premier League after having such a lengthy winless start to the campaign.
But United have gone some way to potentially bucking that trend as they’ve now won five of their last six matches and are one of the Premier League’s in form sides since the turn of the year.
But which three sides will go down?

5. Brentford - 4/1
A poor run of form for Brentford has plunged them into relegation danger after a reasonably positive start to their debut season in the Premier League. They were six points clear of the relegation zone back in December with odds of 10/1 to be relegated. Saturday's win over Norwich took them six points clear once again but with all sides below them having games in hand, they could be pulled back down the table. Photo: Julian Finney
6. Everton - 4/1
Everton's odds are likely to change following tonight's match against Spurs but they find themselves in the midst of a relegation battle following a shocking run of form. They were five points clear of the drop and 20/1 to be relegated back in December, now they are priced at just 4/1 as they sit just a point above the bottom three after 24 games. Photo: Stu Forster
7. Newcastle United - 19/1
After being odds on to be relegated even as late as January, Newcastle are now 19/1 to be relegated from the Premier League this season. This is due to a remarkable turnaround from Eddie Howe and his players. They have gone from 1/2 to 19/1. Photo: Ian MacNicol
8. Crystal Palace - 225/1
Now we're out of the seven team 'mini league', the next favourites for relegation is Crystal Palace at a very unlikely 225/1. Palace are currently 10th in the table on 33 points, 12 clear of the bottom three. It would take a huge collapse and unprecedented turn in form from the teams below them. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
