Supercomputer predicts very tight conclusion to relegation battle involving Leeds United, Everton and Burnley with Newcastle United to have major say

Eddie Howe’s side have secured their Premier League status, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to play for between now and the season’s conclusion on May 22.
