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.
United are still to face Arsenal and Burnley and will want to end the season on a high before they enter what could be a transformative summer window.
Some great mid-season form means they have left relegation worries behind them and can play these two games relatively pressure-free.
Their opponents, meanwhile, both have plenty to play for and will undoubtedly be tough tests for Howe’s side.
But what is the supercomputer, courtesy of FiveThirtyEight, predicting for Newcastle between now and the end of the season? And how does it forecast the race for the title, fourth place and the relegation battle to finish?
Here, we take a look at the supercomputer’s latest predictions of what the final 2021/22 table will look like:
13. Aston Villa
All the attention on the final day of the season will be on Steven Gerrard and whether he can mastermind a victory that could hand Liverpool the title. Villa, of course, will want to finish strongly ahead of strengthening in Gerrard’s first summer window as boss. Chances of finishing 13th = 40% Photo: Marc Atkins
14. Newcastle United
Although they have little to play for, the Magpies will have a major say in the relegation battle and the race for a top four place before the season is finished. Chances of finishing 14th = 60% Photo: PAUL ELLIS
15. Southampton
The Saints are safe from danger but they could have a huge say in the title race as they face Liverpool in midweek. Chances of finishing 15th = 79% Photo: Marc Atkins
16. Everton
Everton still have their destiny in their own hands and one win would be enough to secure their safety. However, the Toffees won’t want to be facing Arsenal next weekend needing a result to secure their survival. Chances of relegation = 9% Photo: PAUL ELLIS
