Supercomputer predicts relegation fates of Newcastle United, Leeds United, Everton and Burnley and how successful every Premier League side will be this weekend

Premier League football is back after the last international break of the season, but what is being forecast for the rest of the campaign?

Eddie Howe’s side have a nine-point cushion to Watford who currently occupy the last place in the relegation zone.

But up next for the Magpies is a tricky trip to face Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur.

The break has allowed Newcastle to refresh themselves after a gruelling schedule - but will that have an effect on their Premier League run-in?

Safety is by no means assured for Howe and his team, however, a couple of positive results in the next few weeks, starting in the capital, could have a dramatic effect on the relegation picture.

Here, courtesy of FiveThirtyEight, we take a look at the latest supercomputer predictions and how that rates Newcastle United’s chances of survival this season and how the Premier League table will look when it comes to its conclusion on May 22.
