Newcastle United will hope to improve their performance in front of goal throughout the Premier League season.

Newcastle United have actually overperformed to start the 2026/27 Premier League season according to the latest xG table.

The Magpies began their league account this term by drawing 2-2 at home to Liverpool. United then went on the road and defeated Tottenham 2-0 in London, before sharing another 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last time out in the Premier League. Matthias Jaissle's men have enjoyed two League Cup victories amidst their solid start to the season, but the latest xG table suggests things could have been very different.

Last season, Newcastle marginally underperformed vs their xG. The 2025/26 xG table had Newcastle finishing 10th in the Premier League, with the Magpies actually ending the campaign in 12th.

This time around, Newcastle are overperforming their xG, with the table placing the club 19th, compared with their actual current position of seventh.
