Supercomputer predicts EPL matches including Newcastle United, Leeds, Liverpool and Man United

Newcastle United face another must-win clash in their battle for survival when they come up against Leeds United this week.

The Magpies were denied all three points against Watford on Saturday afternoon when Joao Pedro’s 88th minute equaliser secured a 1-1 draw for the Hornets.

That result left Eddie Howe’s men 19th in the table, two points adrift of safety, and the Toon Army will be hoping for a better result when they travel to face Leeds this weekend.

For their part, the Whites picked up a hugely impressive 3-2 win over high-flying West Ham last time out, with Jack Harrison scoring a hat-trick to wrap up the points.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men are currently nine points clear of the relegation zone.
